"All skill is in vain when an Angel pisses in the flintlock of your musket."

  1. Bring a gun.
    • Preferably, bring at least two guns.
    • See, we are already ahead of the game!
    • 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.
    • Clean Match shooters RULE!
  4. If your shooting stance is good:
    • you're probably not moving fast enough
    • 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
    • a friend with a long gun.
    • We bring a long gun AND a shotgun!
  7. In ten years nobody will remember the details
    • of caliber
    • stance
    • tactics.
    • They will only remember who lived.
  8. If you are not shooting
    • you should be communicating (like yelling at the targets),
    • reloading
    • and running.
  9. Accuracy is relative:
    • most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun.
    • Use a gun that works EVERY TIME.
  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.
  11. Always cheat, always win.
    • The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
  12. Have a plan.
    • Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.
  13. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
  14. Flank your adversary when possible.
    • Protect yours.
  15. Watch their hands.
    • Hands kill.
    • In God we trust.
    • Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.
    • Don't drop your guard.
  16. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.
  17. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.
  18. Be polite, always.
    • But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
  19. Be courteous to everyone.
    • Friendly to no one.
  20. Do not attend a gun fight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a "4" or bigger.
  21. Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to
    • avoidance,
    • deterrence,
    • and de-escalation.

   "In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...............There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.", Theodore Roosevelt, 1919
