Rule #1 in gun fighting: It is more important not to get shot than it is to shoot; shooting is extra credit.  A gun fight is nothing more than a fight that involves a gun.  In a hand-to-hand encounter (fist fight), whether you have combative skills are not, moving to not get hit is typically instinctive.  Then you look until you hit your adversary as hard as you can as often as you can until you neutralize the threat.  The strategy in a gun fight is the same, whether moving to 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, or 11 o’clock to avoid getting hit.  These encounters are dynamic and rarely predictable. Effective fighters learn to go with the flow and let the situation dictate their response.  Very rarely, if at all, do you stand in place, you move to get off the line of attack as you simultaneously or nearly simultaneously launch your counterattack.  Remember many of these encounters happen inside of 10 feet and most at bad breath distance.
