PEOPLE ASK WHY 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 and the necessity to protect myself from it. I don't carry a gun because I hate the government. I carry a gun because I understand the constitutional 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 to protect my family and property. 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 just because I'm constitutionally guaranteed this right. I carry a gun because history has proven it to be the final defense against a tyrannical, oppressive, police state-type of government. I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a superior person. I carry a gun because only those prepared 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 being unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate and probably get killed. 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 give up my liberty and freedom. .....author unknown ********************************************** A LITTLE GUN HISTORY In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control.
