Why Grandpa Carries 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 a whoopin'. But here's a better explanation:

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 need to remain vigilant against tyranny by the 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 days 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, 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 real 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 when 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 else in to clean up the mess.

In talking to a few folks over the years you sometimes find highway patrol or similar have a mandatory retirement age. Part of it is the age thing because as they get older some might be quicker to shoot than go hands on. A lot more goes into it I feel, 2 or 3 decades on the job and all the changes you see have to play into it as well. Anyway, how you look at a problem that needs solved is part of it.

Training officer decades ago chewed me out for rushing to a fight call
Told to drive normal as my life and the other motoring public was worth more than two fools busting knuckles
Also said when you get there both are wore out and at least one is glad to see you and probably both

my dad taught me never worry about the guy who says he is gonna whip your ass. Just worry about the one that’s doing it

This reminds me of the original "Magnificent Seven" movie with Yul Brenner and Steve McQueen. When the villagers first contact Yul and he takes them to a cantina in search of gun fighters. A man walks in with some nasty scars on his face. One villager says,

"That's that man we want."

The second says,

"No. We want the man who gave him those scars."

I was quoting one of my wonderful teachers who shot a Browning Hi-Power.
If I want more ammo in a stack, there's always belt fed.
