PEOPLE ASK WHY?
Why 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.

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
