Why do you carry (gasp) a gun?

[KAK]

I'm sure you have been asked. What are your answers?

 

[matefrio]

I find it useful.

 

[okie556]

Old joke......because I can't carry a cop!

 

[KAK]

I'd like to say, because I watch the news.

Because I like dead offenders not repeat offenders.

Because there will always be bad people and the world isn't a farytale utopia

 

[Bithabus]

Only one real answer: In case I have to shoot someone.

 

[London]

Why not?

-or-

Why don't you carry a gun?

 

[KAK]

Only one real answer: In case I have to shoot someone.

I like that!

 

[Dawico]

Just in case I need it.

 

[just jk]

i choose not to engage in that conversation - because those that ask why..

i normally just say "because the state of texas allows me to do so"

 

[kurt]

Why would you ask such a personal question?

 

[KAK]

Haha once a lady asked me what kind of dog I had while I was at a drive thru and my beagle was on my back seat. I looked her square in the eyes and said, what dog? My brother couldn't stop laughing.

I carry a gun because 20 foot poles are awkward and won't fit in my car. I don't want bad folks any closer than that.

I basically figure it ain't no bodies business in the first place.

 

[majormadmax]

Simple...

'Cause I can!

Thank you, drive thru!

Cheers! M2

At my age I'am to old for knuckle busting and I darn shure not going to take a butt whoopin and become a victim for anybody.
You don't want to mess with us old folks.

We have a winner.

/thread.

 

[rifletex91]

I don't carry a gun, I carry a weapon.

 

[lalonguecarabine]

Why not?

-or-

Why don't you carry a gun?

Totally agree with London!
My answer: "Why wouldn't you?"

 

[doubled]

I have no desire to become a statistic and if it comes down to a situation in which having makes the playing field even i'd rather have one than wish for one.

 

[Driller]

You will not ask those questions if you have been shot at, assaulted, robbed, etc..I have had all these happen in my life before I got my CHL in 1995. These things have not happened since.

 

[MR Redneck]

I carry a gun because I shoot back!

Oh yea, and becuase im a Big Mean Redneck.
