-Have a plan.
-Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.
-If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a big weapon and a friend with a big weapon.
-In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived and who didn't.
-If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running.
-In combat, there are no rules, always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
-Use cover or concealment as much as possible. The visible target should be in FRONT of YOUR weapon.
-Don't drop your guard.
-Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.
-The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.
-Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, - deterrence, and de-escalation.
-Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a ".4."
-Never be the idiot who shows up armed only with a knife.
-Bring an automatic weapon. Better yet, bring two.
-Bring all your friends, with all their automatic weapons. Get them to bring their friends, with all of their -automatic weapons.
-Bring lots and lots of ammo -- it's cheap life insurance.
-Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.
-Only hits count. Close doesn't count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.
-If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough, nor using cover correctly.
-Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.)
-Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting is more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the weapon.
-Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
-Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.
-Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
-Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
-Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them).
-When in doubt, empty the magazine.
-Someday someone may kill you with your own weapon, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
-“If the enemy is in range, so are you.” --Infantry Journal
-Incoming fire has the right of way.
-Don't look conspicuous: it draws fire.
-Teamwork is essential - it gives the enemy someone else to shoot at.
-"Don't draw fire; it irritates the people around you." --Infantry Journal
-Never share a fox hole with anyone braver than yourself.
-Anything you do can get you shot. Including, doing nothing.
-The easy way is always mined.
-“Try to look unimportant; the enemy may be low on ammo” --Infantry Journal
-Professionals are predictable - it's the amateurs that are dangerous.
-The enemy invariably attacks on one of two occasions:
a. When you're ready for them.
b. When you're not ready for them.
Or
a. when they're ready
b. when you're not.
-If you can't remember, “Front Towards Enemy” really means “This side the heck away from you.”
-Mines are equal opportunity weapons.
