opic: Why I Carry A Gun
Posted: Today at 7:13am |
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.
I don't carry a gun because of bad people. I carry a gun to end bad DNA from being inbred again.
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 crap from anyone that wants to commit suicide.

The biggest reason is when seconds count it takes 911 minutes ro respond. The police usually showup to write a report of the crime rather than arriving in time to prevent it. My neighbor who spends a lot of time away from home during the day has told his wife that she should call me first then 911 as I am only 60ft away from their front door. I taught him to shoot, helped him get his first handgun ( A Para .45acp Wart Hog ), and his CCW permit. I also sold him a pump 12ga shotgun and told him to use #4 birdshot if he has to shoot inside his home. I also had him teach his family the same as I have taught mine to get out of bed and on the floor until I tell them all is clear. Always best to have a plan. |
