"Why I own 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 [censored] whoopin.'

I don't own a gun to kill people.
I own 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 own a gun because I'm paranoid.
I own a gun because there are real threats in the world.

I don't own a gun because I'm evil.
I own a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.

I don't own a gun because I hate the government.
I own 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 own a gun to make me feel like a man.
I own 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.

AMEN

YES!!!!

When you finally realize all the bad things that happen on a daily basis, you come to the conclusion that the bad guys deserve nothing less than a high capacity big bore.
