"Rules For The Gunman" by Gabe Suarez

[paramedic70002]

Gabe Suarez has a little harder view of gun carry than most, but I can't find much to argue about here.



Rules For The Gunman


1). Don't carry the gun to make you a man. Carry because you are in fact a man.



2). Always carry your gun regardless of social pressures.



3). If you can't physically carry a gun, always have a knife.



4). Whenever you carry a gun, also carry a knife...and some spare ammunition.



5). Carry the gun you can use best regardless of social fashion.



6). Make sure you are good with that gun through continual and obsessive practice.



7). Don't bluff or threaten with the gun. If you pull it, be certain you are justified and willing to use it.



8). Using it means shooting the other man or men in the chest and/or the face. Yes, it means killing.



9). If you can avoid having to shoot, it is a good thing, but do not second guess yourself once it has begun.



11). To facilitate the former, do not go to stupid places with stupid people to do stupid things at stupid times.



12). If you are involved in such activities, take a team with you....and rifles.



13). The default should be to mind your own business.



14). The only time minding your own business is superceded by getting involved is if what you see shocks the conscience of humanity and needs to be stopped.



15). The amount of violence you can justify and the number of rules you can break is directly proportionate to the level of evil displayed by your adversary.



16). Never apologize for using violence. Not only is it indicative of weakness but also of a lack of moral standing.

All that sounds good to me. I don't disagree the idea about carrying a knife, but I don't carry one.

A non PC way of saying, "Stopping the threat"
