    I can't claim credit for this one but I like it a lot. I actually think I read it somewhere on this forum before.

    I carry a gun because I can't throw a rock at 900 fps.

    I carry a gun in order to avoid being a helpless victim or bystander. I may still end up on the losing end but at least I'll go out swinging.

    I carry to protect myself and others. It is a great responsibility, but I accept that responsibility. The news reports of local violence caused me to carry the gun I've owned for nearly 20 years but never carried.

    Because I can't find a gun that will carry itself???


    Really, though, because I am the only one responsible for my personal safety, and the safety of my family. I take my responsibilities seriously.


    Where's Jeremy? I think he's been ordered to carry a gun. :patriot:

    I carry a gun because:
    - Bad things happen to good people more often when good people are vulnerable
    - I accept the responsibility to take care of my family in whatever way they need
    - My back hurts if I don't
    - A society that only contains sheep makes for a well fed a society of wolves
    - They are safer on my hip than elsewhere
    - It pisses my sister-in-law off

    I carry for one simple reason - sometime during the course of my day I might find myself in a situation where I need to shoot someone. If I'm not carrying a gun, it's going to be very difficult to do that.

    You have a way of cutting through the B/S and getting right to the point. I like that.

    I don't carry a real gun. I carry the blue plastic practice weapon. It satisfies my need to feel big and tough, all the while keeping the libtards that surround me happy. They mock me either way, so the least I can do for them is not carry a REAL gun. I practice yelling "BANG!" quite a bit, so if the need to pull it ever happens, I will be prepared.

    Not to mention by carrying the blue practice weapon, my yearly ammo costs have dropped to nothing, enabling me to grow my collection of various models. I have a different carry for each day of the week!

    It's a win-win situation.

    Because a cop is too heavy.

    Ha Ha sorry if someone already said that. I carry because you never know when someone will try to hurt me or my family.

    I carry a gun because I have the right to protect myself and my family and if a situation would arise, the well being of other people.

    I am disabled. I do not appear to be disabled, but any kind of physical altercation would be catastrophic for me.
    A gun gives me the chance to escape or if necessary to protect myself from serious harm.
    I've been thru eleven surgeries... I am not going to allow someone to hurt me in any way.

    P.S. That AIN'T me in the avatar on the left.!!!!:rolleyes:
