Rules For A Gunfight
 

Drill Sergeant Joe B. Fricks Rules For A Gunfight

1. Forget about knives, bats and fists. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns. Bring four times the ammunition you think you could ever need.

2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammunition is cheap - life is expensive. If you shoot inside, buckshot is your friend. A new wall is cheap - funerals are 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 or using cover correctly.

5. Move away from your attacker and go to cover. Distance is your friend. (Bulletproof cover and diagonal or lateral movement are preferred.)

6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a semi or full-automatic 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. Yell "Fire!" Why "Fire"? Cops will come with the Fire Department, sirens often scare off the bad guys, or at least cause then to lose concentration and will.... and who is going to summon help if you yell "Intruder," "Glock" or "Winchester?"

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. Stretch the rules. 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. "No battle plan ever survives 10 seconds past first contact with an enemy."

14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible, but remember, sheetrock walls and the like stop nothing but your pulse when bullets tear through them.

15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.

16. Don't drop your guard.

17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees. Practice reloading one-handed and off-hand shooting. That's how you live if hit in your "good" side.

18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. Smiles, frowns and other facial expressions don't (In God we trust. Everyone else keep your hands where I can see them.)

19. Decide NOW to always 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 if necessary, because they may want to kill you.

22. Be courteous to everyone, overly 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 anything smaller than "4".

25. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. "All skill is in vain when an Angel blows the powder from the flintlock of your musket." At a practice session, throw you gun into the mud, then make sure it still works. You can clean it later.

26. Practice shooting in the dark, with someone shouting at you, when out of breath, etc.

27. Regardless of whether justified of not, you will feel sad about killing another human being. It is better to be sad than to be room temperature.

28. The only thing you EVER say afterwards is, "He said he was going to kill me. I believed him. I'm sorry, Officer, but I'm very upset now. I can't say anything more. Please speak with my attorney."

Finally, Drill Sergeant Frick's Rules For Un-armed Combat.

1. Never be unarmed.

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

guns are for the weak.


explosives trumps guns every time.


what to bring to a gunfight? I'm bringing C4.

Rocket launchers are fun, I like shot guns with Magnesium rounds

Drill Sergeant Fricks is a dumb fuck.

Never communicate with police, except for stating your name and showing identification, if asked.

Worth repeating!

I was told to show them my CCW and the business card of my lawyer

i was military ordnance, so I'm partial to things that go BOOM!

the LAW is your friend :)

That is crazy right winger Taliban thinking there.

Those are dark thoughts that consume people who watch to much 24, Fox News, etc.


Whatever happen to drinking your fill around a camp fire? Drinking and listen to good time music like "Fat Bottemed Girls" at your local water hole.

Damn, a good old fist fight where the loser buys a round of drinks.

Good time girls that just want to have good time with you.

better judged by 12 than carried by 6 :2 cents:

Break their necks before the fight ;)


Rules for the fight...... no rules, no fight :)

Lots of interesting ones in there but this stood out for me.

fireeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

only rule i can think of is draw first and make sure u hit the target.

Left wingers want to make it illegal

Nice post. A good set of rules to live by. :thumbsup

And always carry a .45.

Fuck those gangsta 9 mms.

A .45 will get it over with quickly, to the safety and benefit of the good guys and innocent bystanders.

MA DEUCE!; When Only The Best Will Do!:



By the way, the misfires are ammunition related, not due to the design of the firearm. Steve uses a lot of really old surplus ammo and some of it goes bad with time.

An additional use for the .50 calibre Browning Machine Gun (.50 BMG) round:

Browning made some cool guns, but I carried the 1911a in the navy

Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet if necessary."

That's my creed. The rule on which I base my entire life.... :1orglaugh

No. Close with and destroy the enemy :winkwink:

Vendzilla is a fucking scardy cat PUSSY - you better buy more guns you CHICKENSHIT. Load up on that ammo! hahahaha this bitch is a prime example of why the rest of the world hates Americans...

You should go on Jerry Springer and vent some of your hate you fucking lunatic.

I recommend the book even more...

ADG

Which one are you?
http://vendzilla.com/gfy/9.jpg

Yes it's sane people like me who are going to outlaw your fucking absurd assault rifles.

Yes I am anti NRA.

Yes I blame people like you whenever there is a school shooting.

Yes I agree with the rest of the world that this nation has gone gun crazy and lunatics like you need to be regulated and/or jailed.

And most importantly yes I know that statistics about home invasions show very clearly that the there are FAR more cases of gun owners getting shot with their own weapons than cases of individuals successfully defending themselves against intruders with firearms.

Wake the fuck up you big pussies - take some hand to hand combat training if you are such chickenshits.

More than happy to meet you in the ring for some mixed martial arts, if you had a gun, you MIGHT have a chance

These two are particularly awesome! :321GFY

Any idea where they are from?

My dad in one of the originals with the Single Action Shooters Society, they have almost 100k members now. He owns one of the biggest handguns ever made.
But I get a lot of email from him and his group, I make steel tragets for the group, they want steel targets that look like trains for my next ones.

You would probably like this one Amelia

or this one

I'll see your gun and raise you one of these....

http://brokenzombie.com/junk_bin/gfy/fuck_iraq.jpg

Ummm, yeah. It would be pretty stupid to not bring a gun to a gun fight. Duh!

Ha, ha, I do like that one too.

Let me know if your dad knows who might sell that T-shirt above, but with the words in the front 'cause otherwise my hair would cover them.

Funny thing is he never seen combat.

Gotto love armchair commandos.

Not in the Navy.

BTW, Navy taught me the M14, 1911A and the M79.
We had Marine trainers

Amelia, you know I will always have your back!

Giving me yet another reason to stare!

People like you only need to become a crime victim once to see things differently.

Other people prefer to not learn things the hard way.
