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 a 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 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 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.

·  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 what's being shown on TV, sanctioned by our illustrious delusional leaders in Washington.
