(Author Unknown)


My grandchildren have often asked me why I carry a gun. I found this excellent write up that gives any child a clear understanding of why we as American’s carry firearms and why our forefathers were astute enough to give us the write to own and bear arms. Amendment II – A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the Right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.


Armed men are citizens. Unarmed men are subjects.


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.


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 whipping.


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 come after something has happened, investigate the crime to see what happened, 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 a whoopin’!
