Why I Carry A Gun!

Why I Carry a Gun

My 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 being angry ay 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'.

The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.

I T'S A NO BRAINER! DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.

Sure make you wonder!

I use to never give carring a thought! But when you read about all the dirt bags and the stupid and crazy stuff that happens, you realize that it's necessary. Such a shame that this happened. Just buy the gun you need it!

sorry to say this but, if you don't have lots of strings holding you there then dump her sorry butt. I left my wife of 14 yrs and 3 yrs living together. I found a gal a couple of yrs older and she is 100% in step with me. I can't tell you how much better life is...no conflicts, no long spilling of you thoughts and reasons etc. etc. Not to mention she makings a salary equal to mine. Infact we are going for our CCDW training this April. Never would have happened with the EX!
