   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.   
      
   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 Gun fighting:

   3. Drink Coffee
