Marine Corps Rules for Gun Fighting

This has been circulating the net and the mess for years. Somebody recently sent it to me again so I thought I would share it.

Some of my favourites include:

• Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns.
• Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.
• Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
• Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
• Have a plan.
• Have a back-up plan, because the first one won’t work.
• Watch their hands. Hands kill. In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.
• Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
• Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a “4.”

Read the entire list.

Then of course there are the Navy Rules for Gun fighting:

1. Go to Sea
2. Send the Marines
3. Drink Coffee
