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

The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.

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.

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 criminal does not expect his prey to fight back. May he never choose you, but, if he does, surprise him.

It is true that a victim who fights back may suffer for it, but one who does not almost certainly will suffer for it.

Therefore, if you are attacked, retaliate instantly. Be sudden. Be quick. Speed is your salvation.
