"I am not going to leave the country, and I am not going to reform, neither am I going to be taken alive again."--Billy the Kid to John P Meadows.
These words kinda sounds like Billy was antisipating a shootout with Pat Garrett and maybe had a plan? What do you think?

Maybe? I've always believed it is possible that no one knows what really happened or anything even remotely like what really happened. We get so bogged down it seems in debating whether the historical status quo is the truth or whether Brushy told the truth when it is quite possible that neither story is anywhere close to the truth. I've often said I believe it is possible Brushy really was BTK even though his entire description of what happened in Fort Sumner in 1881 may have been total "bull".

Could it be possible that Brushy may not really have known exactly what happened that night? If he was shot in the jaw it may have caused a sort of concusion and confusion; Billy/Brushy may have been in a daze? it was around midnight and dark, all he knows when he comes around is what the friend tells him that doctored him, that friend may thought it was Billy Barlow that was shot, but that information could have been wrong? Billy/Brushy left quickly believing only what he was told by that friend. This is just an idea.
