Rules for a Gunfight
I received this interesting information and thought I would share it with you.
Various Concealed Carry Instructors have laid out some shooting tips to consider if you ever catch yourself in a gunfight.
RULES:
1. The first and most important rule is have a gun and know how to use it.
2. The main reason police carry guns is not to protect you but to protect themselves.
3. There are two enemies that a gun has and they are rust and politicians.
4. It’s always better to be judged by twelve than be carried by six.
5. If you feel you are being theatened by someone or something, never let them, or it, get within arm’s
length of you.
6. Always win if your ever in a gunfight. That is the most important rule. A gunfight is a deadly struggle and there is no such thing as a fair fight, so cheat if necessary.
7. Never tell someone “I’ve have a gun.” If you need to use deadly force, the first sound they hear should be the safety clicking off.
8. 911’s average response time is 23 minutes; the response time of a .357 magnum is 1400 feet per second.
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. If you carry a gun, people may call you paranoid. That is incorrect. If you have a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about?
11. You can say ‘stop’ but a large bore barrel pointed at someone’s head is pretty much a universal language.
12. Never leave an enemy behind. If you have to shoot, shoot to kill. If you end up in court, yours will be the only testimony.
And always remember this quote from America ‘s premier Founding Father:
“Peace is that brief glorious moment in history, when everybody stands
around reloading” — Thomas Jefferson

Just a couple of isseus with the Myth Busters test, as opposed to the original test.They are using a Cowboy Action pistol which requires the shooter to manually cock before firing. The original tests used modern sidearms that could fire upon draw (or after flipping a safety off).The holster used in Myth Busters is open-topped meaning no security features. In the original the shooter used a Level II (later Level III).Finally, the original tests were to see if the shooter could fire 2 center mass shots before the knife attacker reached them. Myth Busters just fired one.Force Science Research Center has conducted more current and in-depth studies on this topic as well, and have found that an attacker will most likely beat an officer’s reaction at the 21-foot area. At best the officer gets one shot off but not the two.
