One Sentence, Sound bite if you will, and no Smart A$$ Comments!
« on: December 05, 2009, 10:22:26 AM »
The tittle gives the instructions, and I will admit to being one of the worst at avoiding the later.

Why do you carry?

Someone asks you the above question, and you have time for a simple, one sentence sound bite that will communicate to anyone at any time in our ADHD society.

I carry a gun because there are real threats in this world.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

I have a few different ones I answer from time to time.

When asked why I carry at work, I tell them Because I work at a convenience store, at night. 

BASIC PRINCIPLE ANSWER that is the common theme no matter what wording:
Because Bad things happen to good people and it could happen to me.


When Asked why I carry at CHURCH (and I do occasionally get asked) My answer is simpler......

 Go home and look up Wedgewood Baptist Church in Ft. Worth, TX and New Life Church in Colorado Springs, CO.

Good quote...  8)

The same reason I have a first-aid kit, spare tire, and fire extinguisher in my truck.....we have to be prepared for bad events.

Because I'm the one who is ultimately responsible for the safety of myself and those I love.

Carrying is like having car insurance, it's something you do to protect yourself, but hope you'll never have to use.

Why do you wear a seatbelt?

I take responsibility for my own safety, and those around me.

Because, unlike you, I refuse to be a defenseless sheep in a society of wolves.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Because evil is real in our world and being defenseless against it is not the tactic I have chosen.
