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.'

be a scary place.

threats in the world..

to see the evil in the world.

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.

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'.....
