Why we carry

[squirrellluck]

My daddy taught me lots of things but here are just a few. Allow no harm to come to your family ever. Don't be the guy that brings a knife to a gunfight( Always be prepared to defend yourself). Be able to draw your weapon, willing to draw your weapon, and pray to God you never have to draw your weapon.

I carry because a cop is just to big and fat to fit in my back pocket 24/7 

Actually the real reason I carry, is because trouble never makes an appointment.

I carry because a cop is just to big and fat to fit in my back pocket 24/7 

There's that, and the fact that I cannot afford all the doughnuts.

My favorite is:  When seconds count the cops are only minutes away.

I refuse to be a victim:

    * I will state without apology my belief in God and my right to keep and bear arms.
    * I will take charge of my own personal safety.
    * I will give myself a fighting chance by carrying my concealed weapon.
    * I will not depend on the government, the police, or others to protect me.
    * I will always obey the gun laws.
    * I will constantly be alert to my surroundings.
    * I will acknowledge and accept the responsibility of carrying a concealed weapon.
    * I will not take unnecessary risks because I am carrying.
    * I will promote and continue to fight for my right to keep and bear arms as an American.

Well considering leo's are required to protect us 24/7 on a daily basis I'll do it myself.

I guess another reason I carry is because the weapons won't carry me. lol
