And some very good points.

”Why I 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...."

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 to make me feel like a man.

Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to Take an ass whoopin'.”

A-Men!!!!

i've said it before and i say it again, gun control laws do nothing to curb criminals with guns. all they do is weaken the public against things that go bump and smash in the dark.
i am a bleeding heart liberal and i support without any hesitation the right to own and carry a firearm. There are very few burglaries here in this neck of the universe? Why? everyone here has at least one firearm, most are loaded, many are at arms reach and there are very few poor shots.

Posted by Samurai everyone here has at least one firearm, most are loaded, many are at arms reach and there are very few poor shots.

That's the same reason I love my neighborhood. A nice dead end street, 16 houses, 12 gun owners(that I know of), and over 40 guns in my house alone. No wonder this street is so quiet.

I carry mine (in a broader term) for people who are too afraid to do it them selves.
