Here’s something we have posted at our gun club range:

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 very scary place.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m paranoid.
I carry a gun because there are real threats in this 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 top make me feel like a man.
I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves.

I don’t carry a gun because I love it.
I carry a gun because I love life.
