Why Grandpa Carries 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'. But here's a better explanation:
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 need to remain vigilant against tyranny by the 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 days 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, 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 real 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 when 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 else in to clean up the mess.
