Why I Carry a Gun

• 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.

What did I tell you- pretty amazing, eh?
