Why Grandpa carries a gun

 

Why Carry a Gun?

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 a 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 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 because police do not protect you from crime.  They just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.
 

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY

PLEASE  DON'T THINK FOR A MOMENT, THAT THIS COULDN'T HAPPEN  IN OUR COUNTRY ALSO!

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control:

From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-----------------------
In 1911, Turkey established gun control:

From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

-----------------------
Germany established gun control in 1938:

From 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
-----------------------
China established gun control in 1935:

From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

-----------------------
Guatemala established gun control in 1964:

From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-----------------------
Uganda established gun control in 1970:

From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-----------------------
Cambodia established gun control in 1956:

From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.  
-----------------------
56 million defenseless people were rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control.   

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.

With guns, we are 'citizens'; without them, we are 'subjects'.

During WW II, the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!

Gun owners in the USA are the largest armed forces in the World!

The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defeat.

The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than either.  

SWITZERLAND ISSUES A GUN TO EVERY HOUSEHOLD!  SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT ISSUES AND TRAINS EVERY ADULT IN THE USE OF A RIFLE.

SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!

DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.

MORE MURDERS IN CHICAGO THAN IRAQ...

TWO STATES IN THE MIDDLE OF AMERICA! 

   

Illinois & Oklahoma:

        
I thought these two states, made for an interesting contrast. The first part about Illinois and the second part is about Oklahoma! 
        
PART 1 - Illinois 
        
"A State with No Republicans"! 
        
Some interesting data on the 'state' of, the State of Illinois... There are more people on welfare in Illinois than there are people working. Chicago pays the highest wages to teachers than anywhere else in the U.S. Their average pay is $110,000/year. Their pensions average 80-90% of their income. Wow, are Illinois and Chicago great or what? Be sure to read till the end. I've never heard it explained better. Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago ? 
        
Body count:   
In the last six months, 292 killed ( murdered ) in Chicago . 
221   killed in Iraq ; AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US. 
        

Here's the Chicago chain of command : 
        
President: Barack  Hussein Obama .
Senator: Dick Durbin .
House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr. .
Governor: Pat Quinn .
House leader: Mike Madigan .
Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike) .
Mayor: Rahm  Emanuel .
The  leadership in Illinois - all Democrats. . 
        
Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago . .
Of course, they're all blaming each other. .
Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! . 
        
Let us get ALL   the facts out while we are at it: 
        
Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! 
        
State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country.
Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! 
        
Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! 
        
This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. And he is going to 'fix'Washington politics for us? 
        
George Ryan is no longer Governor, he is in prison. 
        
He was replaced by Rob Blagojevich who is, by the way, also in prison. 
        
And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned and, that's right, he and his wife are both in prison. 
        
The Land of Lincoln , where our Governors and Representatives make our license plates.  What? 
        
As long as they keep providing entitlements to the population of Chicago, nothing is going to change, except the state will go bankrupt before the country does. 
        
"Anybody who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian." 
        
Don't forget Detroit , another great example of a Democratic empire.      With all the bad news, there is hope, so let's go to: 
        
        
        
PART  2- Oklahoma 
        

OKLAHOMA- may soon have plenty of new residents! 
        
THIS IS REALLY INTERESTING, AND TRUE... PLEASE READ IT! 
        
Oklahoma is the only state that Obama did not win even one county in the last election...  While everyone is focusing on Arizona 's new law, look what Oklahoma has been doing!!!     
        
An update from Oklahoma:      Oklahoma   law passed, 37 to 9 an amendment to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance to the state capitol. The feds in D.C., along with the ACLU, said it would be a mistake. Hey this is aconservative state, based on Christian values... HB 1330 
        
Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway. 
        
Oklahoma   recently passed a law in the state to incarcerate all   illegal immigrants and ship them back to where they came from unless they want to get a green card and become an American citizen. They all scattered. HB1804. This was against the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU, they said it would be a mistake. 
        
Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway.      Recently we passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all illegal's to the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes.Pelosi said it was unconstitutional SB1102.     
        
Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway.     
        
Several weeks ago, Oklahoma passed a law, declaring   Oklahoma as aSovereign state, not under the Federal Government directives. Joining, Texas , Montana and Utah as the only states to do so. 
        

More states  are likely to follow: Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi and Florida.         Save your confederate money, it appears the South is about to rise up once    
again. HJR 1003       
        
The federal Government has made bold steps to take away our guns. Oklahoma, a week ago, passed a law confirming people in this state have the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles. I'm sure that was a setback for the criminals  The Liberals didn't like it- - 
        
But...     
Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway.     
        
Just this month, the state has voted and passed a law that ALL drivers' license exams will be printed in English and only English and no other language. They have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that ALL of the road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma , you must read and write English. Really simple.     
        
By the way, the Liberals don't like any of this either.     
        
Guess what... who cares... Oklahoma is doing it anyway. 
        
If you like it, pass it on, if you don't then delete it... 
        
Thanks!

 

Guess what:       the people I'm sending this to, will send it on.   

Well, at least the ones who loveandbelieve in freedom      will.   
    
    
IN GOD WE TRUST!      GOD BLESS THE  UNITED STATES OF AMERICA !!!

 

GEORGE SOROS GUN GRAB...THIS AFFECTS YOU...

Marlin Firearms bought and CLOSED by Soros.   Even if you don't own a gun - this will affect you!

                                            

    MARLIN FIREARMS IS CLOSING ITS DOORS  Even if you do not own a gun you need to know this.  

    This was checked on "Truth or Fiction" who verified it.  They can be trusted  more than Snopes.  Marlin Firearms is already closing its doors!  They are doing it to us, America! All gun owners and sportsmen/women need to see this.  We cannot rely on the media to inform us of these types of happenings.  Something you may not know that Is happening! Who is buying the companies manufacturing guns???   For the last several years a company called The Freedom Group has been buying up gun and ammunition manufacturers.  Some of the companies are Bushmaster, Marlin, Remington, DPMS, Dakota Arms and H&R.  Some people worry that this Freedom Group is going to control most of the firearms companies in the United States.  If you control the manufacturers you can decide to stop selling to civilians. 

    What a perfect way to control guns.  Now if you do some digging you will see that The Freedom Group is owned by a company called Cerberus Capital Management.  Guess who controls Cerberus???  GEORGE SOROS, Obama's chief financier!!  He wants to restrict or ban all civilian guns.  Please pass this on to all  your freedom loving friends. This needs to come out.  Why have we not heard about this in the "mainstream" media?   I would think this would be BIG news.

    (Soros also owns Progressive Insurance - Flo).   If you don't know who George Soros is, you need to do some research.  This One-World Government atheist backed Obama with millions of dollars and Obama is a puppet  on a string controlled by Soros. 

           

             Send  this to every gun owner you know

THIS SHOULD GET YOUR ATTENTION.

This Will Make Your Day....UNBELIEVABLE!    I'll  bet you can't guess what this is!      •إذا  كان دخلك الشهري الإجمالي أقل من 150 دولار و 100 دولار أو أقل في  الأصول السائلة  )نقود في اليد، الحسابات الجارية أو حسابات التوفير، شهادات التوفير(،  أو •إذا  كان مجموع دخلك الإجمالي وأصولك السائلة أقل من مجموع إيجارك الشهري  أو  قسط  القرض العقاري زائد فاتورة التدفئة والمنافع العامة، أو •إذا  كنت معدوم* الدخل أو أجير موسمي متنقل أو عامل مزارع موسمي ولديك  100  دولار  أو أقل في الأصول السائلة.  *المعدوم  هو أن يكون دخلك قد توقف قبل تاريخ تقديم الطلب، أو أن دخلك قد  بدأ ولكنك  تتوقع أن لا تقبض أكثر من 25 دولار في غضون ال 10 أيام القادمة.  إذا  كان أهل بيتك مؤهلاً لمعالجة الطلب في غضون سبعة أيام، فيجب عليك: •أن  تشترك في مقابلة، و  •أن تقدّم إثباتاً بهويتك الشخصية، و  •استكمال عملية الطلب بكامله.  لمواصلة  تلقي مخصصات الإعانة الغذائية، سيُطلب منك أن تقدم إثباتاً لمعلومات أخرى  )مثل  الدخل، مكان الإقامة، ....إلخ(. إذا قمت بإعطاء الإثبات عند التقديم، فيمكن أن  تُعطى فترة  أطول من مخصصات الإعانة الغذائية. المقابلات  المعنية ببرنامج الإعانة الغذائية    (Food  Assistance Program:  FAP)  يجوز  التنازل عن إجراء مقابلة وجهاً لوجه وإجراء مقابلة هاتفية في الحالات التي  يشكل  ذلك  على أهل بيتك مشقة. وتتضمن المشقات على سبيل المثال ولا تقتصر على  التالي:  •المرض. •صعوبات  في النقل.  •دوام  ساعات العمل الذي ��منع من الاشتراك في مقابلة مكتبية. إذا  كنت تعاني من مشقة وتحتاج إلى إجراء DHS أخبر الأخصائي المسؤول عنك  ف    Well, it's part of the instructions for how to apply for food stamps in the great state of Michigan in Arabic!!    Read on:  I actually called the Michigan Dept . of Human Services to  check this out and it is true.  Have we gone completely nuts!! THE  CAMEL'S NOSE IS OFFICIALLY IN THE TENT IN MICHIGAN !!! Muslim  men are allowed to have as many as 4 wives. Many Muslims have immigrated into the U.S. and brought their 2-3-or 4 wives with them, but the U.S. does not allow  multi marriages, so the man lists one wife as his, and signs the other 2 or 3 up  as extended family on welfare and other free Government  programs!    Michigan has the highest population of Muslims in the  United States . When President Obama took office the United States paid several millions of dollars to have a large number of Palestinians , (All Muslim), immigrated here from Palestine !  Why? We don't pay for other persons to immigrate here, and I'm sure that some of those Muslims moved into Michigan with the large current number of Muslims already established  there.   So now in Michigan when you call the Public Assistance office you are told to  “Press 1 for English. Press 2 for Spanish, or Press 3 for Arabic”! CHECK IT OUT  YOURSELF - Here is the number  1-888-678-8914.     Every time you add a new language to an American program it requires an additional number of persons fluent in that language to process those persons who refuse to  learn English in order to live here at an additional cost to the taxpayer! Why are we even allowing persons to immigrate here who cannot provide for themselves and then putting them in our welfare system? Press 3 for Arabic! This is quite alarming!!! This seems to have happened clandestinely, or as far as I know, because no public announcement or opportunity to vote on this was offered to the American people. They're just adopting an official stance, and very likely using tax-payer money for it, in various capacities, without public knowledge or approval. The following link takes you into the State of Michigan Public Assistance page, (as in Food Stamps etc). You won't have to scroll far before you see the assistance-letters options for ... (get this) ... English, Spanish, and ARABIC!!!  When  did the ARABIC option sneak into our culture? We don't do this for other cultures, except those that speak Spanish!  Will we soon have to listen to our governmental offices, stores, and other venues offer us the option of "pressing  3 for ARABIC?" Check  it out for yourself.  http :// www .. michigan . gov / dhs  /0,1607,7-124-5453_5527---,00. html (When you get to this web site, just click on the FORMS AND PUBLICATIONS button -  those forms in Arabic are listed as ending in AR!!)    Please inform every red-blooded American you know, that this is happening. It is  outrageous! The camel's nose is literally now OFFICIALLY under the tent!    YOUR AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS AT WORK!!         Thank you Obama, you promised change and you've certainly kept your word in this at least!! You are changing my country into a place I no longer recognize!  If you keep it up we will be a broke third world country.

All gave some, some gave all. “All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed.

Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”

-Arthur Schopenhauer (German philosopher, 1788-1860)

BOAT FOR SALE TO BUILD CHURCH...

I HAVE A 36-FOOT BRYANT FIBERGLASS LANDING CRAFT. I am over age 70 and too crippeled with arthritis to do much with the boat. It would make a lot of money chartered to one of the oil companies for standby oil spill cleanup. The doors open up in front to carry large objects.

It can carry a pickup truck or six four wheelers for a big cariboo hunt. You could load it up with deer meat on Kodiak Island or moose on the west side of Cook Inlet in Chinitna Bay or Point Harriet. It sleeps two but if you removed the engines and installed two large outboard motors you could extend the cabin aft to sleep six more people.

It is powered with two V-8, 350 cubic-inch, Chevys. I would install two 220 hp Cummings diesels or two 300 hp Yamaha outboard motors. 

It has a 12-mile radar, two VHF transmitters, two sounders, and a CB radio. It comes with lots of fishing gear and a fifty pound bucket of halibut jiggs. 

I want $35,000.00 and plan to use the money to build a church.
Call 907 740-0386
e-mail: hankkroll@yahoo.com

PS. We pressure washed the entire boat after the pictures were taken. To build a new landing craft like this one would cost you over $300,000.00.
