"If I were to sum up 30 years as a professional firearms trainer Into what I consider my top three rules of a gunfight in situations where there are no rules, they would probably be something like the following.
First: have a gun.
Second: have a loaded gun.
Third: have lots of friends with lots of guns.
Respond with overwhelming force and the best gunfight in the world is the one that never happens in the first place."

Dave, I love # 2! Friends in other departments carry one on their hip, often in a thigh holster and the exact same model in a vest holster. I like that idea.
