-- Why I carry a Gun (http://forums.ukcdogs.com/showthread.php?threadid=928440293)

Why I carry a Gun

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 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 1911, Turkey established gun control:

· From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-----------------------
Germany established gun control in 1938:

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.
-----------------------
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.
-----------------------
Cambodia established gun control in 1956:

· From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, 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.

Something to think about for sure,thanks for postin' fellow American.

The gun, the great equalizer. Why anyone wouldn't have and carry one is beyond me. I carry because I'm a little man and everyone knows little men have issues.

The only time I carry a gun is while hunting. Usually a single shot or bolt action of some kind. I ablolutely will not carry a pistol in public it is a terrible idea for me. I have a temper at times and it scares the carp out of me the thing that go on in my mind. I did some awful things when I was a little younger and don't trust myself with a pistol.


Posted by boozeboxer on 01-22-2016 06:49 PM:

I do not carry a gun because they are heavy and in all likelihood cause me more problems than they would ever solve. I do not live in fear, and on my list or problems in this world--those that can be solved with a gun are pretty low. I have guns to shoot things like coons and rabbits.

If I cooked meth or courted married women, I supposed my outlook would be different.

If I go hunting and someone else wants to carry the gun, great! I am not needing boy scout points.

If I were to suggest something for people to carry, I would suggest a pen or pencil, a calculator, a pad to write down lists, maybe a good little book (bible for those religiously inclined), in fact a wrench that is 9/16 on one end and 1/2 on the other is incredibly handy, or better yet would be a little crescent or pliars.

Almost everyone I know that has a conceal and carry permit is an idiot. I am not touting some anti-gun agenda, I just think many people are living in a fear of something happening to them that is unwarranted. Exceptions I am sure exist.

I do not want any of the gun laws or restrictions to change for any restriction.

I think the worst thing for gun rights are gun activists. It sounds crazy and that makes people uneasy. Whenever I think of everyone I know that conceal and carry, they are exactly the people I wish did not have firearms.

I agree 100% all the people I know who are of sound enough mind to carry a gun usually dont! Lol the ones I know that carry are dangerous because they live in fear or don't trust anyone and there is nothing more dangerous than a chicken $#!/$ with a gun! That's a fact.


Posted by croatankid on 01-22-2016 07:48 PM:

Ok, for all the coon hunters on here, I would be willing to bet almost everyone of you support our right to carry guns. Now you can see there are two among us that are not like the rest of us. They are the ones that will cave to or openly support those who seek to prevent or limit our gun rights.
I'll bet they don't even put a shell in the single shot rifle until they are ready to shoot, if that ever really happens.

As I stated, I do not wish to limit anyone's gun rights. However, your response is just "ammunition" for the points I stated. (Pun intended).


Why would you question my gun ownership? Lots of people know me on here and they all know I have many guns?

But if attacking someone who is simply pointing out their reservations about the people waving the banner, all while stating that they still support the issue is your way of gaining support....I believe it is misguided although I respect your enthusiasm.

It's not about having guns. It's not about having guns for hunting. It's about having and carrying guns, both long and short, concealed and open, and loaded because I want to and for no other reason and that is reason enough.

You made it about having guns when you accused me of not having any. You attack me like some kid on the playground and then it is about something else?

I know one thing for sure: you will do more to hurt your cause than I ever could even if I wanted to.

Posted by nitehunter2004 on 01-23-2016 12:16 AM:

Sounds like you live in fear. Irrational fear is one of the problems with gun laws. People who fear the gun are those who will vote for people that will pass gun laws.
A gun is a tool as is a car, both can get you killed if you don't respect them, However you have a 10 times better chance getting killed by a car.


Posted by croatankid on 01-23-2016 02:14 AM:

If we as a nation didn't evolve with the car, well it's hard to imagine what we would have to go through to buy a car. Everyone would be thinking that everyone else was an idiot and shouldn't be allowed to own or drive a car. How could we possible trust anyone to drive past us at 50 mph. It would be ok for me to have and drive one because I'm ok, in my way of thinking, but I don't know but anyone else.

I don't live in high crime area but have been a few places where I didn't fill the most secure, one place I've never felt unsecure is the big Indy gun and knife show with a bunch of us right to carry "idiots".


Posted by yadkintar on 01-23-2016 11:04 AM:

Some people are comfortable with a weapon some people are not but the saying don't tread on me is the reason that we are a free country the whole world knows if they tried to invade the USA they wouldn't be just fighting the military for those that don't like to carry or use weapons that's ok those of us that do will protect you just saying !!
