[Dolphin_Shooter]

USMC Rules for Gun Fighting

1. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
2. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.
3. Have a plan.
4. Have a back-up plan, because the first one probably won't work.
5. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
6. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun whose caliber does not start with a "4."
7. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap.
Life is expensive.
8. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral & diagonal preferred.)
9. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
10. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
11. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
12. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics.
They will only remember who lived.
13. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating or reloading.
14. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
15. And above all ... don't drop your guard.

THINK.

'Cause there's a very specifical technical term for those who don't take half a second to think and assess, during a gun fight. And that's "Target".

[TJ]

Forgot one of the most important points...

If it's worth shooting once it's worth shooting twice or three times or four. Ammo is not that expensive and gets moldy with age. Might as well use it up when the situation demands it.

[Darla]

Have a plan worked out ahead of time if possible.
Have a back up plan because the first plan probably will not work.
Have a third plan because the back up plan often does not work either.
Have a good escape route in case nothing works or even if it does.
