You're a "gun fighter" when....

[brownie0486]

You don't have to be a tough guy to be a potential gunfighter.

Ever been in combat? Lots of guys wet themselves but while they are doing so they are taking incoming and giving right back. Would they be considered gunfighters even if they wet themselves?

How about the person who goes in harms way knowing that if anything happens it will likely come down to gun play. If one is trained as a gunfighter or trains to fight with a gun [not on a range in competition ] but in real life scenarios where you live or die based on your skills and cool head, you are in a classical sense a gunfighter.

Oh ya, one does have to be a little nuts probably to go in harms way on purpose. It's not for the weak of heart. Sheeple are not usually found in that profession. Nuts to me in this scenario/question denotes mindset to play the game in the first place knowing one day there is a bullet with your name on it.

I've been cut in a knife fight. It's, umm, pleasant to say the least... But anyway I'd tend to agree with what Zundfolge said. Goes along with something my dad told me years ago, a bit of wisdom from a Marine instructor of his regarding being on leave in "odd" places "If someone pulls a gun on you take it away from him or you WILL be shot. If someone pulls a knife on you, run away or you WILL be cut. Badasses will be cut twice..."

You're a gunfighter when.

You get into gun fights with people with guns not like a soilder but more like a street fighter.

I believe that if you carry a gun in your line of work/duty, you have to be a gunfighter. If at least in the mindset.

IMHO

rules of a knife fight

1). You will be cut

2). Bring a gun.


Course it may not follow the rules, but I have never been much for rules. I carry a knife to cut rope, slice fruit, and if things really get bad defend myself, but i'm gonna stick and run. Would that make me a "knife sprinter?"

3) You can still be cut!

Been there, done that.

I didn't feel the cut. If I had, I would have shot the scumbag.
