WHY OLD MEN WEAR GUNS

***********************************************************
***********************************************************
Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space:

I saw this worthy item posted at the FREE NORTH CAROLINA web site, where it's said that this message has also been rapidly circulating via personal e-mail.
_________________________________________

This is a Ruger "Security Six" .357 Magnum revolver,
which is what I wear, except mine is blue steel,
and has Pachmayr "Presentation" grips.

My old grampaw 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 an ass whuppin'.

I don't wear my gun to kill people. I wear my gun to keep from being killed.

I don't wear my gun to scare people. I wear my gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.

I don't wear my gun because I'm paranoid. I wear my gun because there are real threats in the world.

I don't wear my gun because I'm evil. I wear my gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.

I don't wear my gun because I hate the government. I wear my gun because I understand the limitations of government.

I don't wear my gun because I'm angry. I wear my gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.

I don't wear my gun because I want to shoot someone. I wear my 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 wear my gun because I'm a cowboy. I wear my gun because, when I die and go to Heaven, I want to be a cowboy.

I don't wear my gun to make me feel like a man. I wear my gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.

I don't wear my gun because I feel inadequate. I wear my gun because, unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.

I don't wear my gun because I love it. I wear my gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.

Police protection is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves.

Police do not protect you from crime. They usually just investigate the crime after it happens, and then call someone in to clean up the mess.

Actually, I wear my gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take an ass whuppin'."
