It is the desire of the membership to preserve this part of American history and to provide a safe venue where the public may be both educated and entertained at the same time.
All members of the guild will be expected to conduct themselves in a manner that will not bring discredit to Six-Gun Justice or the RGA.
Neither Six-Gun Justice nor the RGA will tolerate, nor condone or support, discrimination by any person or entity in any form or manner. Six-Gun Justice and RGA members will be expected to follow all Guild rules and guidelines set forth by the board, and to adhere to all local, state, and Federal laws.
Because historical truths are sometimes fluid and open to interpretation, every effort will be made to insure that members portray their characters or events in a historically-correct manner, which shall include, but is not restricted to, clothing, utensils, weapons, behavior, and speech.
Questions regarding these areas will be professionally presented for clarification. Members, in response to such questions, will refrain from action or speech that could be construed as hostile. In all cases of competition, the judges will have final say on issues of safety or historical correctness.
No discourse will be allowed in front of the judges table.1 Performers must honor historical records and knowledge, and should document such sources used in their presentations so that they can withstand critical review. Six-Gun Justice & RGA members will strive to assist each other in the pursuit of historical accuracy and understanding.
Further, members will respect the integrity of historical records while investigating and interpreting the past during presentations as a matter of practice. Members will also respect the presentations and portrayals of the past by all other members and will not resort to plagiarism.
Six-Gun Justice & RGA members are to consider themselves as mentors and teachers to young and old alike, and behave at all times while representing Six-Gun Justice and the RGA in a manner above reproach. Inappropriate actions or behavior by any member is subject to review by the board, and may result in expulsion of the member.
All performers are professionals, bound by a love of the Western frontier, as well as a love for history and their fellow human beings. These are values shared by all members of the Guild.

Director, Six-Gun Justice
