    Why I Carry a Gun

    My father once 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 becaus e 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 whoopin'."

    Remember the average response time to a 911 call is over 4 minutes.

    The average response time of a 357 magnum is 1400 FPS.

    [COLOR="Sienna"]Wait... your dad said, "bustin caps"?
    I think I'm really old. My dad would never say that, or so I believe.

    However, good post. Things to think about.[/COLOR]
