Why we fight.

I just realized that I've spoken alot about how to conceal, what to conceal and why to carry, but I haven't really mentioned something that I believe is even more crucial then all of this; why we fight. Not why we carry a concealed weapon, but why we choose to fight.

We could simply not carry anything, right? Then, when faced with an aggressive force, we could submit and that would be that. Yes, we could do that. It is certainly safer and causes less headaches.

However, I have a huge problem with that. Not because I'm some macho dude who "doesn't take crap off anyone". That's exactly the WRONG reason to carry a weapon. I have a huge problem with it because it is my right to walk on this earth unencumbered by others. I should be able to walk from my house to Iowa, if I wanted to, and never be harmed by another human being. I give them respect I should get the same.

That being said, there are people in this country that want to hurt people, that want to take what you have instead of work for it. There are sick people, who can't get any better, who think that pain is fun and hurting and stealing is a way to gain power and respect.

Yeah, here's what I have to say to those people: Fuck you.

You want to run up in a 7-11 with a shotgun and rob and terrify the poor dude or woman working the counter at 2:00 in the morning because YOU can't be bothered to get a job? Fuck you.

You want to gang up on a weaker kid because he likes to wear suspenders and jack boots and listen to weird music, then beat him to death for being different? Fuck you.

You want to violate a woman in the single most hideous fashion imaginable? Fuck you.

We, the American people, are sick and tired of the bullshit.

If you are one of those people I want to introduce you to the silent minority of people out there that will straight up shoot you dead for that bullshit.

Bad guys, you've been warned. You are on notice. Stop what you are doing or you may end up on the wrong end of a gun carried by a law abiding and otherwise patient and kind civilian who will put a stop to your crap, permanently.

That's why we fight. Not for the adrenaline rush, not because its cool to carry a gun, but because we believe in protecting something greater than ourselves.

...thus endth the sermon.
