Why Grandpa Carries A GUN

  THIS IS ABOUT AS TRUE AS IT GETS. THE DATA AT THE END IS INFORMATIVE AND

  VERY MEANINGFUL.......

  PEOPLE ASK WHY?

  Why Carry a Gun?

  My old grandpa said to me 'Son, there comes a time in every man's life

  when he stops busting' knuckles and starts busting' caps and

  usually it's when he becomes too old to take an ass whooping.'

  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.

  Police do not protect you from crime, they usually 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 ass whooping'.....author unknown (but obviously brilliant)

  You won't see this datum 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.

  Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!

  The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them

  of this history lesson.

  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!

  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.

  The final weapon is the brain.

  All else is supplemental.

SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN!

SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY ISSUE 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 ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.

I'm a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment!

  If you are too, please forward.
