Why I carry

Why Carry a Gun Today

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 a 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 a whoopin' !!



Got this in an e-mail & practicially agree w/ it all, but the part about not carrying a gun to kill.
I have the gun to kill & all would be wise to never forget it.  When the wellfair of me & my loved ones is threated & I go for the gun I will not be wounding to stop the threat nor will I be holding them for the police. I will be going for the fastest most incapacitating kill I can. Period!

20 years ago I could take the whopping and heal up pretty quick,Now that the age thing is starting to catch up with me I would just as soon not get into those situations,and if I do I want to finish them as quickly as possible.
