Also found this gem over at American Realpolitik. I have no idea if it is real or not, but it is chock full of gun fighting wisdom. My favorite pointers:
- 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 tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.
and my number 1 rule to live by (literally) is:
- Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a "4."
I don't even own a handgun the caliber of which does not start with "4". You decide what that means.
To me, it means you might need to go shopping.

But when I thought about such things, I favored the 45cal. government model, or at best a shotgun. My friends always thought I was more than a little nuts, but my first choice was always an edged weapon. K-bar or some varient of Gerber, 6 to 8 inch blade, and I like the dark.
The most deadly weapon a man can wield is the one between his ears. Intimidation works very well.
