I must write a disclaimer to anyone who might take this article seriously. It is conjecture, (a proposition that is unproven but appears correct and has not been disproven),pure and simple. I do not own a gun nor do I plan to . This theory is based not on the worst case scenario but rather in the proposition that the attitudes brought forth in the "Bullet chart" are carried down to all our dealings whether conscious or unconsciously. This being said.......
  The Bullet Chart as we shall call it is not complicated it is in fact the application of it which can be. Any deviation from its basic principles can prove disastrous . As well though adhering to it can become complicated . It begins with an inter circle or bulls eye which in fact if you are a male of the species on the planet represents you. This is a person who in the worst case scenario facing deadly peril you may well choose not to preserve. Particularly if you are adherent to John 15:13. This verse of basic belief in putting others ahead of ourselves is in fact the whole of the Bullet chart. Without John 15:16 we would have to call it the ME chart.
  As I said it begins with me and added to it in the first ring is a wife , the first person in the Bullet chart ME excluded who I would either put a bullet in you for or take one for. Next comes our offspring, She and I's, our children. Added to that are those our children choose to marry granted they remain in good standing,( I.E. married to our children ), and their children. These are the people , excluding self who we would in the worse case scenario either take a bullet for or put a bullet in someone for. All other relationships are outside these rings. We may choose to love and defend others but they will never be in the inter circle. Go ahead call it the Pierce circle of trust if you want to or if you are an adherent to the chart substitute your own name.
 This is not to say that the people in the inter circles are perfect, on the contrary we know them the best and most intimately and they us. But they are ours and we theirs. We must do our best to accept one another as we are. We are part of an oft overlooked group in society now called a family. Familys may be added to but this part of our family can never be subtracted from. Flesh of our Flesh, Bone of our Bone. Although others may fall within the guidelines of the bullet chart by grace they can at any time by interfering in the dealings of the inter circle be in danger of being shot or cut off in their attempts to shoot. Blood is thicker than water indeed and grace be with those who come unindoctrinated to mix in family business.
  This as well is a two edged sword as the bulls eye or me in each situation is called to defend their own circle. I got in a disagreement with my father at one point at which time he chose to do the correct and right thing and defend his wife , as well as did I. These situations can be very frustrating and quite destructive to family situations which is why children ,spouses and their resulting offspring must be on an equal footing with the first two circles and a liberal amount of grace applied to all. That said it is again of premier importance to note that all other opinions are outside of the family nucleus and will be perceived as threat and therefore defended against.  
  In conclusion it should be noted that this is an ideal that many of us as familys operate under in ignorance. We have no idea why it bothers us that others "Interfere" in our business. It is in fact our obligation as the center or head of the family to mediate grace and forgiveness to members of our family and to be defender and peace maker to each. The best example I have known of this and the one I often refer to was a man who labored under the weight of alcoholism much of his adult life. I thought he was cured by a miracle bout of food poison from the need to drink but I recently found out his wife,( both are now passed), was feeding him pills in his supper that made him sick ever time he drank. That is still in my mind a miracle because the end result was that in the last years of his life sober , a man with a simple faith and means. He became a peace maker to the family. He was a simple man with a third grade education who quit school as one of the oldest of 8 children to help support the rest of the family. He was not a perfect person,(Aren't any save one), far from it but he had one overwhelming quality as a father and patriarch of a family. He never shut his door to anyone. He turned away wrath at his door. He took the bullets of life for his family and sent forth his own bullets to defend them.
 Sound familiar , that's what Jesus did for his family on the cross, Bulls eye.
