Why Grandpa carries a gun

 

 

The Quintessential reason why Grandpa carries a gun. Please take time to read this and pay particular attention to "A Little Gun History" about half way down; staggering numbers!

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 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 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 ass whooping'! Author unknown (but obviously brilliant)

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 ALL LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.

 

I'm a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment! If you are too, please forward this. If you're

not a believer, please reconsider the true facts. This is history; not the BS that's being shown on TV, sanctioned by our illustrious delusional leaders in Washington.
