From my most favorite Old & Evil personMarine Corps Rules:
1. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
2. Decide to be aggressive enough, quickly enough.
3. Have a plan.
4. Have a back-up plan, because the first one probably won’t work.
5. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone
you meet.
6. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun whose caliber does
not start with a ‘4.’
7. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is
cheap. Life is expensive.
8. Move away from your attacker.. Distance is your friend.
(Lateral & diagonal preferred.)
9. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.

stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.

intention to shoot.
