Why Carrying a Gun is a Civilized Act.
From: Warrior Times
I have seen this circulate many times and have tried to find the original post. All I can determine is that is appeared around 2007, is attributed to Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret) and a lot of bloggers didn’t attribute it to anyone. It is such a sweet and cogent piece that it must be brought out and revisited periodically. Thank you Major Caudill, where ever you are.
When I carry a gun, I don’t do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I’m looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don’t carry it because I’m afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn’t limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force.
It removes force from the equation…and that’s why carrying a gun is a civilized act.
