One of the best PRO GUN stances I've read. "Why I Carry"

Posted on my local Craigslist !!!


When someone finds out I am carrying a gun, they ask me "WHY". Well; here's my go to answer.

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 today's 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 the 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 not being 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 real men/women 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 armed thugs, I am inadequate.

And finally; 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 joke. People 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.

I approve this message.
