In each of his gunfights, the bad guy already had a gun in his hand, proving that your <strong>action <\/strong>can beat the bad guy&#8217;s <strong>reaction<\/strong>&#8230; so be decisive in your action and make your first shot count!<\/p>\n<p>2. Mindset and training trump equipment&#8230; Front Sight&#8217;s motto is &#8220;Any gun with do, if YOU will do.&#8221; Yes, some guns are better than others, but remember it is the man or woman who does the fighting, not the gun &#8212; and this man can fight!<\/p>\n<p>3. Having a gun in close proximity to you is not as good as having a holstered gun on your person, with the ability (through training) to present it quickly and shoot it accurately.<\/p>\n<p>4. Just because you get shot, does not mean you die. Even if you get shot, stay in the fight and finish your opponent!<\/p>\n<p>5. Make your decision now on what you are willing to kill or die for, so that when the time comes there is no indecision in your mind.<\/p>\n<p>6. Winning a gunfight when you are outnumbered or when your opponent already has a gun pointed at you is not just luck. It takes proper mindset, training, and practice to win time and time again&#8230; as this warrior demonstrates.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck is when preparation meets opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>Bad luck is when lack of preparation meets adversity.<\/p>\n<p>Make your own &#8220;good luck&#8221; by being prepared.<\/p>\n<p>If you want the mindset and skill at arms to handle yourself in a gun fight but do not yet have a 30 State Concealed Weapons Permit, the world class training that Front Sight provides, or a Springfield Armory XD Pistol, then take advantage of <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.frontsight.com\/free-gun.asp\">Front Sight&#8217;s Greatest Course, Gun and CCW Permit Offer Ever<\/a>.
