Rantings Diversified

OK, here they are the 2007 Irish Blog Awards!
Now, you all have to go to THIS WEB SITE and vote for me! Yes, me.
You see the criteria states that nominations don’t have to be a blog from Ireland or even an Irish person but since my Grandparents hailed from Ireland and my last name is Fitzgerald, it’s OK, you can vote for me.
Now, please, don’t go all crazy and vote me for best blog or anything like that. I’m hunting for the
Best Newcomer nomination.
Oh yea, the other thing is if I make it to the final five, then you guys have to come up with the plane ticket to Dublin, hotel room, food money and some WAM cash also.
Here is a list of the blogs I voted for……..

1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns.
2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.
3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.
4. If your shooting stance is good, you’re probably not moving fast enough nor using cover correctly.
5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movements are preferred.)
6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun.
7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running.
9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on “pucker factor” than the inherent accuracy of the gun.
10. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME.
11. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
12. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
13. Have a plan.
14. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won’t work.
15. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
16. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
17. Don’t drop your guard.
18. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.
19. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them).
20. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.
21. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot up you will get.
22. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
23. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
24. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a “4.”

Also, don’t forget: “The wind is your friend”.
It conceals movement and, on the range,
has already beaten most of your opponents
before they fire a shot.  (They are too busy
cranking on their windage!)
Truly, “The wind is your friend!”.
