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 cowgirl; I carry a gun because, when I die and go to
Heaven, I want to be a cowgirl.
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 an ass whoopin'!
