Anyone who willfully and maliciously attacks another without sufficient cause jeopardize the lives of others.

Bushido is all very well in its way, but it is no match for a 30-06.

Under any sort of attack, keep cool. And if you must shoot, shoot with precision.

The only acceptable response to the threat of lethal violence is immediate and savage counterattack. If you resist, you just may get killed. If you don't resist you almost certainly will get killed. It is a tough choice, but there is only one right answer.

The specific course you decide upon is, within certain parameters, less important than the vigor with which you execute it.

Let your attacker worry about his life. Don't hold back. Strike no more after he is incapable of further action, but see that he is stopped.

I have long had a tendency to tie marksmanship to morality. The essence of good marksmanship is self-control, and self-control is the essence of good citizenship. It is too easy to say that a good shot is automatically a good man, but it would be equally incorrect to ignore the connection.
