Things in life are transient.

Another message from a friend

Buddy you send some interesting stuff - I just had to share.



My old grandpa 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 whoopin.'

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 scary place.

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

I don't carry a gun because I'm evil. I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the 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 because I'm a cowboy. I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.

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

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



I don't carry a gun because I love it. I carry a 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.

Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take an ass whoopin'.

I'm trying to figure out what the best way to carry is. I haven't found a holster that seems right. It's too bad that they don't have a 2 day trial period to wear a holster to see how it works for you before you commit to buying one. Do you have any good suggestions? I don't live near a large city, so gun shops around me don't have many choices.

North said...

Rose: That is as tough of a question to answer as "what is the best gun for me". Much depends on what you wear, how tight your clothing might be, etc.

My wife has a holster that she wears tucked in her belt. At first she wore it at the 4:00 position. Then she discovered that she felt more comfortable with it at 2:00. This is for street clothes.

She jogs with a different holster. She wears a SmartCarry holster for jogging. She picked that from choices on-line. Didn't like it on day one, but learned how to adjust it and has liked it ever since.

Plus if you have any questions, you can always email me at my address over there ---> on the end of my side bar.

Rose said...

Wow, thanks for a quick response. I checked out SmartCarry and they have a trial period! I am going to see what DH thinks because he is looking for one, too. Thanks, North!

North said...

Anytime, Rose! This craftsman:

has made a few custom things for me. He does beautiful work.

One of maybe a dozen emails I've got saved in my inbox, that I'm not deleting. Mine has an extra line, though..."I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy."

Lovin the site!
