The Quintessential reason why Grandpa carries a gun.
« on: February 24, 2015, 12:12:41 AM »
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 an @@@ 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
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 an @@@ whooping'! Author unknown (but obviously brilliant)

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control: From 1929 to 1953,
about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded
up and exterminated.
------------------------------
In 1911, Turkey established gun control: From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million
Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
Germany established gun control in 1938: From 1939 to 1945, a total of 13
million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were
rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
China established gun control in 1935: From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political
dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
Guatemala established gun control in 1964: From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan
Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
Uganda established gun control in 1970: From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians,

You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating
this information. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and,
yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.

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

During WW II, the Japanese decided not to invade America because they
knew most Americans were ARMED!

Gun owners in the USA are the largest armed forces in the world!

If you value your freedom, please spread this anti gun-control message to all
of your friends.

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 important
than either.

SWITZERLAND ISSUES A GUN TO EVERY HOUSEHOLD!

SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT ISSUES AND TRAINS EVERY ADULT
IN THE USE OF A RIFLE.

SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!

IT'S A NO BRAINER! DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS  IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.

The Section The Constitutional Right And Social Obligation To Carry A Gun gives great real-life examples of reasons to carry and reasons to get involved politically.

I'D RATHER HAVE A GUN IN MY HANDS, THAN A COP ON THE PHONE!
