There's dozens of versions of The Rules, but these are mine. Unstated, but Rule Zero is avoid the situation if at all pssible to do so safely.
Rules for a Gunfight
If you have been in Condition Yellow, the following will be
unnecessary, but, if not, then:
1. Bring a handgun.
2. Bring a handgun whose caliber starts with a 4.
3. Don't draw it unless you intend to use it.
4. Don't point it at anything you don't want to destroy.
5. Don't put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
6. Once you fire, keep firing until your "target" ceases to be a
threat. Count your shots if you can. If given the opportunity, do a
tactical reload. Try not to shot your weapon empty.
7. Call 911
8. Call Your lawyer. If you can, get a good criminal law attorney on
retainer before you need one.
9. Render aid if needed.
10. When questioned by police:
a. I feared for my life.
b. I'm too upset to talk now.
c. Stop talking
Item 2. is arguable. You may not be able to properly conceal one of
the 10mm or 11.25mm pistols. Or you may not be able to control your
fire with one. If either is the case, then at least adhere to rule 1
and bring a handgun of some type. the .25 ACP you have with you is a
lot better than the .45ACP you left home.
