Why 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 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 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 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 because police cannot protect you   from crime; they 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'!

With guns, we are 'citizens'; without them, we are 'subjects'.
