Why Grandpa carries a gun

 

 

·            The quintessential reason why Grandpa carries a gun.

·            Please take time to read this and pay particular attention   to  "A Little Gun History" about half way down –     staggering numbers!

 

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 do not protect you  from crime; they 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'!

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