Gun Wisdom

Some words to the wise. Shooting Advice from various
Concealed Carry Instructors. If you own a gun, you will
appreciate this. If not, you should get one and learn how to
use it:

A: Guns have only two enemies: rust and politicians.

B: Its always better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

C: Cops carry guns to protect themselves, not you.

D: Never let someone or something that threatens you get
inside arms length.

E: Never say "I've got a gun." If you need to use deadly
force, the first sound they hear should be the safety
clicking off.

F: The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes,
the response time of a .357 is 1400 feet per second.

G: The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win -
cheat if necessary.

H: Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets . .
You may get killed with your own gun, but he'll have to
beat you to death with it, cause it'll be empty.

I: If you're in a gun fight:

1/ If you're not shooting, you should be loading.

2/ If you're not loading, you should be moving,

3/ If you're not movin', you're dead.

J: In a life and death situation, do something . . . It may
be wrong, but do something!

K: If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense!
If you have a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about?

L: You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or any other word, but a
large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much a
universal language.

M: You cannot save the planet, but you may be able to save
yourself and your family.

There is a similar racing quote:

"Nobody remembers the guy that got second place, except for the guy that got second place."

I have a problem with "E." My carry piece doesn't have a safety.

[spyder]

I have a problem with "E." My carry piece doesn't have a safety.
Just make the click noise yourself, if nothin else that will make them think they have a crazy guy pointing a gun at them... brings a whole new factor into it! [Tooth]

[Ah Pook]

A: Guns have only two enemies: rust and politicians.
That is sig worthy.

[pickenup]

I have a problem with "E." My carry piece doesn't have a safety.

You beat me to it.
That is WHY I carry that particular piece. [Muaha]

[sniper7]

[clublights]

Only folks who care about second place in a gun fight are the next of kin.

[GilpinGuy]

Pure awesomeness.

[mcantar18c]

You beat me to it.
That is WHY I carry that particular piece. [Muaha]

It's one of the main reasons for me too [Beer]

A buddy sent me a similar list of wisdom (some repeats, some not):

USMC Rules For Gunfighting
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 nor 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. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun.
9.5 Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. "All skill is in vain when an Angel pisses in 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.
11. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
12. Have a plan.
13. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.
14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
16. Don't drop your guard.
17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.
18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them).
19. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.
20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.
21. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
22. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
23. Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
24. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a "4."

Navy Rules for Gunfighting
1. Go to Sea
2. Bring Marines
3. Drink Coffee
