It makes you think just how good are you

I ran across a slightly different version on another website.  oo-rah!


USMC Rules for Gunfighting

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. Your 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.

9.5 Use a gun that works EVERY TIME.

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 to Gunfighting

1. Go to Sea

2. Send the Marines

3. Drink Coffee

cops are notoriously bad shots. most dont practice firearms. most are just thugs who want to beat you up. I know this from experience, I have many friends in different PDs. They cant shoot worth a shit. I would bet that the average CCW person would score higher on any course. The PD is like the general public ,3%ers who can shoot.

Now what Marine would NOT want a larger caliber like say.....A Trident Missle, a Tomahawk Missle, A Phalanx system or a 16 incher....or take a look at what a MK-48 torpedo can do...makes big things into little things in short order.....

I was particularly fond of Navy coffee and in my job, they sent us all the GIRLS as well....who needs a beach when it's full of craters, I'll take Iceland over Guadalcanal anytime.....

I'm glad to see someone else who'll admit that most cops are thugs. A couple of them beat one of my neighbors in the kidneys so bad he peed blood for days, but they never left a mark. They were skilled torturers that would make a dictator proud. That was before he became a priest. After that they didn't mess with him as much. It would cause people to ask questions if they beat up a priest.

I won't go into an officer's personality traits other than to say I have met some very good ones and some very bad ones.  Law enforcement officers are no different than the rest of society ... warts and all.

One thing I have noticed in opening our range to officers is that they are mostly average to bad shots.  I believe part of it is 1. Some are on a power trip and think they are too good to learn (just want to do what they think is best); 2. Some went into the profession for other reasons and really don't like the "force" part of it; 3. When firearm training became mandatory and routine they lost interest in it; and 4. They have so much training to do they don't take the time to practice like they need to.
