Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. -Mark Twain

Why I Have 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 have a gun to kill people. I have a gun to keep from being
killed.
*
I don’t have a gun to scare people. I have a gun because sometimes
this world can be a scary place.
*
I don’t have a gun because I’m paranoid. I have a gun because there
are real threats in the world.
*
I don’t have a gun because I’m evil. I have a gun because I have
lived long enough to see the evil in the world.
*
I don’t have a gun because I hate the government. I have a gun
because I understand the limitations of government.
*
I don’t have a gun because I’m angry. I have 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 have a gun because I want to shoot someone. I have 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 have a gun because I’m a cowboy. I have a gun because, when
I die and go to Heaven, I want to be a cowboy.
*
I don’t have a gun to make me feel like a man. I have a gun because
men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.
*
I don’t have a gun because I feel inadequate. I have a gun because
unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.
*
I don’t have a gun because I love it. I have 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’. #guns #liberty #freedom #marines
