Something to consider, that is taught to cops and those who may be in
harms way is the Tuller Drill. Keep your rubber gun in your holster,
and have a gent with a rubber knife stand 21 feet away. On the knife
mans inititive, he runs at you with his rubber knife and tries to
stab/cut/kill you. ( I like to use permanant Magic Marker as the
knife).

Sounds like the 21 feet is the carnival trick to the deal. It says
how fast a man can run vs how fast one can remove the weapon and
aim it.


Ayup..much to many peoples dismay.


When doing this, is the shooter allowed to start running away from
the knife-wielder while drawing his weapon?

GOOD MAN!... Thats the key...run backwards just as fast as you can
and keep removing your weapon from the holster. Most Tueller drill
participants at first simply stand there like a stone.

Rules For Gun Fighting

Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your
friends who have guns.

Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life
is expensive.

Only hits count. A close miss is still a miss.

If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast
enough nor using cover correctly.

Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and
diagonal movements are preferred.)

If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a
friend with a long gun.

In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or
tactics.
They will only remember who lived.

If you are not shooting, you should be communic- ating, reloading, and
running.

Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more
dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun.

Use a gun that works EVERY TIME.

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 cheat = always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.

Have a plan.

Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.

Use cover and concealment as much as possible.

Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.

Don't drop your guard.

Always tactically reload and threat scan 360 degrees.

Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep
your hands where I can see them).

Decide to be AGGRESSIVE enough, QUICKLY enough.

The faster you finish the fight, the less shot up you will get.

Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you
meet.

Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.

Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not
start with a "4".

That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's
cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays
there.
