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 or using cover correctly.
5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement 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. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. “All skill is in vain when an Angel blows the powder from the flintlock of your musket.”
10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
11. Always cheat, always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
12. Have a plan.
13. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won’t work.
14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
16. Don’t drop your guard.
17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.
18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.)
19. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.
20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.
21. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
22. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
23. Your number one option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
24. Do not attend a gun fight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with anything smaller than “4".
25. You can’t miss fast enough to win.

M : Never leave an enemy behind. If you have to shoot, shoot to kill. In court, yours will be the only testimony.

Unless you're Byron Smith and record yourself saying lots of psycho things, then use it as your only defense in court. ::)

Which points out the need to make your first one or two shots lethal.
However, one must ask just WHEN a criminal is no a longer lethal threat? Just because he/she is wounded and laying on the floor is NO guarantee that he/she won't get up and pull a weapon while your back is turned.
Many judges and prosecutors earn high incomes and live in gated communities or other areas where their security is much higher than that afforded ordinary citizens. Having been robbed several times in the previous few months proved that the police were inept at catching or stopping the thieves. Over all, IMO, the results of the trial will be looked on as an impediment to self defence by citizens and a blank check by thieves and thugs.
Smith has appealed his conviction to the state supreme court. To make matters worse, and prove that crime DOES pay, the Morrison County judge order that Smith pay $21,859.70 in restitution to the mother of Haile Kifer, the woman shot during their robbery attempt. Apparently the mother never taught her daughter than repeatedly stealing other people's property is immoral and illegal.
