Actually the best addendum I have heard is:

11. Bring a friend with a gun, preferably two.

I don’t see anyone fantasizing about being in a gunfight, although there are a few people discussing what they might do and how they’ve trained in case one happens. The difference is that Joe Torre is never going to bang down your door at one o’clock in the morning and demand that you take the last at-bat in game seven, nor is Tony Stweart going to rush into Wendy’s to insist that somebody drive the car for the last few laps.

Real criminals have run into those places and started shooting. Good people got killed because they weren’t ready for it. I see no harm in preparing. Besides, it’s fun.

"The handgun would not be my choice of weapon if I knew I was going to a fight. I’d choose a rifle, a shotgun, an RPG or an atomic bomb instead."

Atta boy!

Unless the "threat" is the one wearing the badge!

In that case, quietly leave the scene. And for God's sake, don't write a song about it!

The only proper use of the words 'fair' and 'fight' in the same sentence goes something like this: "There was a fist fight at the county fair..."

If you find yourself in a fair fight, prepare better next time. If there is a next time.

I don’t fight fair. I fight to win.

Yeah, I love the “rules” about how you’re not supposed to pull hair, kick balls, etc. Shoot, if I’m in a fight, it’s because the rules already failed to do their job. I’ll punch, shoot, stab, bite, whatever opportunity presents itself. If you lose, they won’t be handing out runner up awards for good sportsmanship later.

Our martial arts instructor had another little guideline: “The fight’s not over...”
