I don’t need a reason. The US Constitution says so.

“A” Gun? Why carry one when you can carry two?

There is a reason God gave me two hands.

I’ve long thought that there are five reasons to carry.

The first is stupid people. Stupidity can only be compared with greed, as they are both unlimited, unending, and unimaginable. Unchecked, stupidity will one day destroy the universe.

The second reason to carry is insanity. The best definition is “others”, meaning “you”, when they are said to “represent harm to themselves and others. There isn’t a mind there, but it can still injure or kill you.

The third and fourth reasons are drugs and alcohol, which represent temporary insanity, which is just as dangerous, or even more dangerous, than the permanent kind of insanity.

And the fifth reason is, of course, crime and criminals.

So for those who wonder about carrying guns, ask them how often, in a typical day, they encounter someone who is stupid, insane, inebriated with alcohol and drugs, or who is possibly a criminal. If the answer to any of these is “yes”, then you need a gun.

Hi. Welcome to FR.

What do you think about thermonuclear weapons? Any answer will do. For example, yield. Or deployment. Or maintenance. Or use. Feel free to express yourself.

*** Warning! Longer than a bumper sticker allows!! ***

I carry a fireram, because:

1. I am a disabled senior military veteran, and have been reading about “flash mob crime”, and do NOT wish to be empty-handed, in such an event.

2. I am a half-breed, Mojave and American. I have been consistently mis-identified by the low-intelligence morons that must utilize public transit, or walk.

3. I have been witness to the Muslim dog’s war of conquest, ever since my years of duty in SouthEast Asia, with the Thai Communists in the north, and the Thai Muslims, in the south. In fact, it was the Thai Muslims who blew up a coffee shop, (that I had just exited), in downtown Bangkok, in 1972. In fact, it was within a week of the grotesque murders and annihilations of the Israeli Olympic squad, at the 1972 Olympics, in Germany. Therefore, that is another reason why I carry a firearm.

4. I have watched the rise of black-on-white crime, and again, being a senior citize, to them, easy-pickins.

5. I served in the military of this, my nation, my country, therefore, I ‘paid my way’ to own a firearm.

6. As you can tell, it is my civic duty. The U.S. Supreme Court said that the cops, do not have the obligation of providing personal protection, for John Q./Jane Q. Public. Therefore, it is not only a right, but my own responsibility, to carry, with full knowledge of those rights and responsibility, that goes with the issued conceal-carry license.

I carry a gun because I am a free man. Any attempt by the criminal element to compromise my freedom will be met with a lethal dose of lead poisoning.
