5 Reasons to Carry a Gun
1. As I said above, people are nuts. And it seems to be getting worse. Especially when you watch the news and see all these riots taking place. What’s funny, though, is that when you see the guys with the AR-15 slung around their shoulders guarding their business, nobody is attacking them. Wonder why? Maybe it’s because guns act as deterrents.
2. I’m convinced that the zombie apocalypse is already upon us. I mean, I literally look around and see the brain-dead all over the place, feeding off the innocent and trying to turn them into zombies, too.
Many people believe that, at some point, it will escalate to an uncontrollable problem, forcing those of us who aren’t yet zombies to defend ourselves against the horde. When or if that time comes, it is better to be ready for it.
