Rules for Going to a Gun fight

In civilian circles a firefight is known as a gunfight, so quite naturally the very first and most important rule when going to a gunfight are:

1. Have a gun.

1.1 Preferably, have at least two guns.

All additional rules are supplemental to that first rule.

2. Bring all of your friends who have guns.

2.1 Preferably, they will all have at least two guns.

3. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice.

3.1 Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.

3.2 There's no additional paperwork for shooting someone more than once.

3.3 Two in the chest, one in the head is not a bad plan

4. Only hits count.

4.1 The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.

5. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough or using cover correctly.

6. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance or tactics.

6.1 They will remember who lived.

7. Proximity negates skill. Distance is your friend.

7.1 Lateral and diagonal movements are preferred.

8. If you are not shooting, you should be doing something else.

8.1 Communicating, reloading or running are the preferred things.

9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on the "pucker factor" than on the inherent accuracy of the gun.

9.1 Use a gun that works every time.

9.2 All skill is in vain when an Angel pisses in the flintlock of your musket.

10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun.

10.1 If they do, they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

11. Always cheat, always win.

11.1 The only unfair fight is the one you lose.

12. Have a plan.

12.1 Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.

12.2 If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn't plan your mission properly.

13. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.

14. Flank your adversary when possible.

14.1 Protect your own flank.

15. Don't drop your guard.

16. Always perform a tactical reload and then threat scan 360 degrees.

17. Watch their hands. Hands kill.

17.1 In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.

18. Decide to be aggressive enough, quickly enough.

19. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.

20. Be polite. Be professional.

20.1 Have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

22. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun whose caliber does not start with a "4".

23. Nothing handheld is a reliable stopper, even if it does start with a "4".

Welcome to the Den

If you have found this page, it is because you were curious enough to click on that small question mark at the bottom of the main page for gunssavelife.com; but then again you already know that. What you didn’t know is where it would take you. You were simply curious so you clicked and here you are.

Allow me to welcome you to the Sheepdog’s Den.

The Den is a special place where we provide information and resources for those people who consider themselves to be “Sheepdogs”. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, a “Sheepdog” is a person who looks after the personal safety and protection of other people who are unwilling or unable to do so themselves. These people are generally referred to as the “Sheep” or “Sheeple”. They often despise, fear and ridicule the Sheepdogs and consider them to be dangerous and overall, a menace to society. Sheepdogs know and understand the mentality, motives, and tactics used by the “Wolves” within society to prey upon the sheep. They exist to protect and defend against these wolves no matter the cost because they know the sheep would soon die without their intervention. God Bless our men and women in the US. Military (Our front line Sheepdogs), local Law Enforcement (Our paid Sheepdogs - although never enough), and all the everyday folks looking out for one another as Sheepdogs themselves.

Retired Lt. Col. Dave Grossman is an expert on the subject and provides tremendous insight in to the topic of being a “Sheepdog”. It is our pleasure to post the links below to a lecture he gave on “The Bullet Proof Mind” as well as a collection of other Sheepdog related links (In no particular order).

Stay frosty! The Wolves are lose and on the prowl.
