Why grandpa carries a gun...

Why Grandpa carries a gun



scroll way down



PEOPLE ASK WHY?



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 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 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.

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 a** whoopin'.....author unknown (but obviously
brilliant)



**********************************************

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY



In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control.

From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents,

unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

------------------------------



In 1911, Turkey established gun control.

From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians,

unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

------------------------------



Germany established gun control in 1938 and

from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were

unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

------------------------------



China established gun control in 1935.

From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents,

unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

------------------------------



Guatemala established gun control in 1964.

From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians,

unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

---- ------------- -------------



Uganda established gun control in 1970.

From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians,

unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

------------------------------



Cambodia established gun control in 1956.

From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people,

unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

-----------------------------



Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated

in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.

------------------------------



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.



Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!



The next time someone talks in favor of gun control,

please remind them of this history lesson.



With guns, we are 'citizens'.

Without them, we are 'subjects'.

Good one!
I also like DeaconJim's tag line: "I carry a gun b/c a cop is too heavy". And is it 'watcher's?- When seconds count, help is only minutes away...

And a holster for a cop is just so darn unhandy.
