These little gun fight principles are good ones to remember:
1. Bring a gun. Preferably bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns.
2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.
3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.
4. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough or using cover correctly.
5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.)
6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun.
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. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME.
10. Someone may kill you with your gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
11. Always cheat, always win.
12. Have a plan. Have a back-up plan, because the first on won't work.
13. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
14. Flank your adversary when possible and protect yours.
15. Don't drop your guard.
16. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.
17. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.)
18. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.
19. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.
20. Stop the threat.
21. Do not attend a gun fight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with the number "4"!
