Why I Carry a Gun
My old grandpa said to me 'Son, there comes a time in every
man's life when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps and
usually it's when he becomes too old to take an ass whoopin.'
I don't carry a gun to kill people.
I carry a gun to keep from being killed.
I don't carry a gun to scare people.
I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary
place.
I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid.
I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world..
I don't carry a gun because I'm evil.
I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the
evil in the World.
I don't carry a gun because I hate the government.
I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of
government..
I don't carry a gun because I'm angry.
I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my
life hating myself for failing to be prepared.
I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.
I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my
bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.
I don't carry a gun because I'm a cowboy.
I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want
to be a cowboy.
I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man.
I carry a gun because men know how to take care of
themselves and the ones They love.
I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate.
I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs,
I am inadequate.
I don't carry a gun because I love it.
I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it
meaningful to Me.
Police protection is an oxymoron.
Free citizens must protect themselves.
Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just
investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up
the mess.
Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and
too old to take An ass whoopin'.....author unknown (but obviously brilliant)

You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear
politicians disseminating this information.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property
and, yes,
Gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding
citizens.
Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please
remind them of this history lesson.
With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are
'subjects'.
During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America
because they knew most Americans were ARMED!
