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.

· The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory
in defense.
· The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more

what's being shown on TV, sanctioned by our illustrious delusional
leaders in Washington .
