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'.
