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) Remember the average response time to a 911 call is over 4
minutes. The average response time of a 357 magnum is 1400 FPS.
