The rifle is the first weapon you learn how to use, because it lets you keep your distance from the client. The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn.

Never take it off until the last minute, it reflects light. They can see you coming from a mile away. And always dress down, never brighter than the floor. OK?
