Shotgun Rules

A number of weeks ago, my girlfriend, two friends and myself were headed out to dinner, we had previously decided that we would leave from my girlfriend and my place, in her car. Once we were all ready to go, we walked out and I called shotgun, knowing full well that i was within the right to call it at this time.

Not satisfied with this, another member of the group disputed my right to shotgun and started to introduce line of site rules outside the generally excepted rules of shotgun (i.e. once outside the house, shotgun can be called, regardless of whether then entire traveling party is outside or not) further discussion was had on the short walk down stairs and to the car.

It seems that despite my insistence on many of the generally accepted rules, the other party member was a gaper, and the best thing that i could do at that point would be to just let him have the shotgun position whilst I crammed into the back of the car….Jordan, I’m looking at you.

So for future reference I went back in search of the shotgun rules that I was sure I knew, and I came across this site. I want to pass it on to all as i think a global unity in shotgun rules can only benefit us all as a society. So please take a moment to read the following site, and further still grab a copy of the book and save us all http://www.shotgunrules.com/
