oneshot 1 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 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 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 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 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 a whoopin'! ----------------------- A LITTLE GUN HISTORY PLEASE DON'T THINK FOR A MOMENT, THAT THIS COULDN'T HAPPEN IN OUR COUNTRY ALSO !!!!!! In 1911, Turkey established gun control: · From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ----------------------- In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control: · From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ----------------------- In 1938 Germany established gun control: . From 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated. ----------------------- China established gun control in 1935: . From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ----------------------- Cambodia established gun control in 1956: . From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ----------------------- Guatemala established gun control in 1964: · From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ----------------------- Uganda established gun control in 1970: · From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ----------------------- 56 million defenseless people were rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control. ----------------------- 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. With guns, we are 'citizens'; without them, we are 'subjects'. During WW II, the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED! Gun owners in the USA are the largest armed forces in the World! 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. · SWITZERLAND ISSUES A GUN TO EVERY HOUSEHOLD! SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT ISSUES AND TRAINS EVERY ADULT IN THE USE OF 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. · Mr. An-Cap and Tim M 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinwrench Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Ok, so now it's my turn to say why everyone constantly carrying a gun out in public is a bad idea. Let's look at the other things that we carry in public everyday...... Cell phone, Wallet, Keys. Which of those have you never dropped, misplaced, or been otherwise careless with ? Sure, you didn't drop or misuse it the first day you carried it, but for each day thereafter the probability of you being momentarily careless with it Increases. Am I wrong? If you choose to walk around being a warrior at all times, then by god don't you forget that you are a warrior. Stay on your toes and never relax and forget that your job today, and everyday, is to be a warrior. Don't "chill". Terrierman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't carried a gun my whole 52 years and haven't had either of those. Just lucky I guess. Of course in those years I have had a gun pointed at me twice. Both those guys took a whoopin. If you want to point it at me you better just go ahead and blow my head off while you have the chance. MOstreamer and Daryk Campbell Sr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrierman Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Carrying guns around is a sign you're a scared wimp. Guns in the house? You guess. In Wal-Mart? Let's just say not a scared anything. Life around here is good, as in most everywhere. snagged in outlet 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneshot 1 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Actually I got it on FB. But me and my wife both carry for last few years and have never dropped our weapon. Neither one of us has had to use one. My Ex shot a Guy with a Shotgun years ago. All BS aside. I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. oneshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
