Why I Carry A Gun
.Walk not in front of me, I may not follow. Walk not behind me , I may not lead. Walk beside me and be my friend
A little long, but well worth the
time to read ...
This just about says it all...Now I won't have to
explain my guns and the use of them...
PEOPLE ASK WHY?
Why I 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 whippin'...
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 whippin'...
Author unknown but obviously brilliant...

It has now been 12 months since gun
owners in Australia were forced by new
law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms
to be destroyed by their own Government,
a program costing Australia taxpayers
more than $500 million dollars...
The first year results are now in:
List of 7 items:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent...
Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent...
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44
percent (yes, 44 percent)!
In the state of Victoria alone, homicides
with firearms are now up 300 percent...
Note that while the law-abiding citizens
turned them in, the criminals did not,
and criminals still possess their guns!
While figures over the previous 25 years
showed a steady decrease in armed robbery
with firearms, this has changed drastically
upward in the past 12 months, since criminals
now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed...
There has also been a dramatic increase
in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY...
Australian politicians are at a loss to explain
how public safety has decreased, after
such monumental effort, and expense was
expended in successfully ridding Australian
society of guns... The Australian experience
and the other historical facts above prove it...
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 AN EASY TARGET...
I'm a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment! If you are too, please forward this...
