For Mistress Valerie, steve and others who have armed themselves for self defense:
1. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.
2. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns.
3. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a "4."
4. The best kind of quick draw is to have the gun locked and loaded, and already in your hand.
5. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun.
6. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. "All skill is in vain when an Angel pisses in the flintlock of your musket."
7. Accuracy is relative. Most combat shooting accuracy will be more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun.
8. Always threat scan 360 degrees.
9. Flank your adversary whenever possible. Protect your own flank.
10. Use cover and concealment as much as possible.
11. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.
12. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough nor using cover effectively.
13. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.
14. Bring plenty of ammo. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.
15. Reload IMMEDIATELY.
16. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running.
17. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
18. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.
19. Don't drop your guard.
20. Watch their hands. Hands kill. "In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them."
21. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
22. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
23. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
24. Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
