You can never have enough ammo!

6. If you can chose a weapon to bring to a gunfight, bring a BIG one; and if you can, bring a friend with a big weapon too.

Never bring a knife to a gunfight.

8. If you are not shooting you should be communicating, reloading, and running.

Always dial 911. The first one to call 911 wins(gets their side of the story told to the police first).

12. Someday, someone may kill you with your weapon...but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

You can never have enough ammo.
Quote:
18. Always tactical reload and threat scan 360 degrees.

When shooting a semi-auto, practice letting empty clips fall to the ground and pocket clips that you eject due to a misfire(clip may be no good, but ammo still is).
Quote:
23. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
24. Your number one option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to Avoidance, Deterrence and De-Escalation.

These are the most important rules on the list.
Quote:
25. DO NOT attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a ".4".

.45acp(there are other schools of thought)

Here's one I think came from the void that is my mind...

Can I have some of these? I'm playing with the idea of Mal at boot camp. (Read the Heinlein thread and went and dug out 'Starship Troopers'...)

I'd love to see a story about Basic SpaceAnJL. Lots of wisdom on that subject around here I think.

Also, to paraphrase TR, "Talk softly and carry a big stick or gun."

Umm, I don't know if calling 911 is applicable. Air support maybe.

Regarding large caliber handguns, I might make exceptions here, .357 magnums have always had stopping power and I don't know how much extra it had but I fired a .38 Police special with a load called .38 p which seemed to have quite a bit of kick.

Yeah, a young and idealistic Mal Reynolds, fresh off-planet, and his bootcamp buddy, Aiden 'Moonshine' Mercer...and you just know that their drill sergeant has Gibbs-like qualities...

What with this thread, and the Irish Drinking songs over at the Browncoat bar, my head is now a worrisome place to be.

Talk crazy, and carry an object that may be a stick or a gun, depending on your perception of reality...

Ohgodhelpus, my brain has done an awful thing.
