Why I carry
I am certain that I will receive much chastisement from this post but that is just me I am a glutton for punishment.
Why Carry a Gun Today
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 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 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 a whoopin' !!

i got my concealed carry permit and a pistol.
i didn't get them because i think i'm tough. i got it because too many punks in this world think they are.
i pray to God daily that it turns out to be the my biggest waste of money ever.

Enjoyed the read. In my case, for good or bad, it has not been a waste of money in four incidents.
