Why Grandpa Carries A Gun

Why Grandpa carries a gun
                                                       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 ass 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 ass whoopin'.....author unknown
(but obviously brilliant)

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'.
During WWII the Japanese decided not to  invade America
because they knew most Americans were ARMED!
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.
The final weapon is the brain.
All else is  supplemental. 
SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN!
SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY ISSUE
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 EASY TARGETS.
I'm a firm  believer in the 2nd Amendment!
If you are too, please forward.
