And Now For Something Completely Different

n the process of writing yesterday's entry, I found the USMC Rules for Gunfighting. It's both true and amusing. Highlights:

2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Your life is expensive.

9.5 Use a gun that works EVERY TIME.

11. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.

18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them).

24. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a ".4"
