WHY I MIGHT CARRY A GUN

WHY?



*PEOPLE ASK WHY?*

*/Why I Might 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 am 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'.....*
