USMC Rules for Gunfighting

1. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
2. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.
3. Have a plan.
4. Have a back-up plan, because the first one probably won't work.
5. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you
meet.
6. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun whose caliber does not
start with a "4."
7. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life
is expensive.
8. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and
diagonal movement are preferred.)
9. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
10. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
11. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you
lose.
12. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance,
or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
13. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating or reloading.
14. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should
have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
15. And above all ... don't drop your guard.

WOP,

I can tell you've never been in a gunfight.
Honestly hope you never have to be.
It's not something to try and make jokes of; there's nothing funny about any part of it.

Well you know what Bob... I am in the U.S. Army. I think I have earned the right.
 
You may have earned the right, but I still fail to see any humor in your post about our military services.

Nor do I see any humor in the subjects of gunfights.

People do die from that sort of conduct, and even though they may be deserving of their end, I still find no humor in helping them meet it.

JMHO.

Thank you for your service to your country and I hope that the only shooting you ever have to do is with your camera.

boB, it is a joke lighten up a little bit. :blink:
 
bowtie,

I realize it is meant to be a joke. I stated my opinion about that type of humor.

I most certainly do not need you, nor anyone else to tell me that I need to "lighten up a bit".

I simply find no humor in the subject, didn't the first time I read it, nor do I now.

Is that OK with you? or do we now need to ask permission to post opinions on this forum?
