| 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 look for trouble. I carry a gun in case trouble
comes looking for me.
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 to make me feel like a
man. I carry a gun because responsible people 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.
