April 19 - 13 Rules for a Gun Fight

Ok....so I'm taking a break from working on the Remington for a couple of days.  Perusing one of my forums I saw this.  I believe the actual credit goes to Col. Cooper,...It's been a while but I seem to remember reading this list a number of years ago in an article written by him.  Regardless of the credit, and dismissing the "tongue-in-cheek" style....this is a pretty good list!

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


2. It's always better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.


3 Cops carry guns to protect themselves, not you.



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

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

6.  The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes; the response time of   a .357 is 1400 feet per second.

7.  The most import rule in a gunfight is: Always win - Cheat if necessary.

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

9.  If you're in a gunfight:

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

If you're not loading, you should be moving.

If you're not moving, you're dead.

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

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

12.  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.

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