Rules for a Gun Fight

1. If you have a choice don't go.
2. Bring a Gun.
3. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice, ammo is cheap-life is expensive.
4. Only hits count. A slow hit is better than a fast miss.
5. If your shooting stance is good, You're probably not moving fast enough or using cover correctly.
6. Move away from your attacker, distance is your friend.
7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics, they will only remember who lived.
8. If you are not shooting, You should be communicating, reloading, and running.
9. Accuracy is relative: most defensive shooting situations will be more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun. Use a gun that works every time "all skill is in vain when the angel blows the powder from the flintlock of your musket"
10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
