Happy Labor Day from the U.S. Occupied state of Alabama (sorry, I just like saying that). Wow, there sure has been a lot going on even since my last post, which was 3 1/2 weeks ago. Violence everywhere. Economy getting worse. Gas prices here at 1.899 per gallon. While I have always believed gun ownership is biblical and constitutional, I never thought I would be where I am today with the Second Amendment. But perhaps some of you are like me and cannot do everything I talk about due to finances. I also was laid off and out of work for 3 months and still only working part time. When things like that happen you often need to sell things you have.
Having said all of that though,below are 10 reasons why I believe people should own and carry a gun. I know some may not believe in that, and I know some may need to learn how to shoot and practice if you get or have a gun. But here are my reasons for you to prayerfully consider doing so.
1. Race baiting and violence. There is a lot of violence going on between whites, blacks and hispanics. But sadly,the "lamestream" media is focusing on the white on black violence. President Obama has been making it worse by commenting on just the white on black violence. Add to him, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpten, and it makes it even worse.
2. Notorious Nation of Islam speaker (I'm not going to call him a preacher) Louis Farrakhan has called for the death of 10,000 white people.
3. The New Black Panthers has called for the death of white police officers.
4. Terrorists have been crossing the unprotected southern border with illegal immigrants.
5. Most of the illegal immigrants that have been crossing the southern border are criminals or gang members.
6. To help protect our police officers that are being attacked as we have seen in the news recently.

7. Even though Open Carry of guns is legal in many states such as the last three states we have lived in (Alabama, Florida, Idaho), many citizens are not aware of that right, haven't thought through the issue, and are fearful assuming the person is a "bad guy." Police officers feel obligated to check out complaints of citizens that Open Carry and some of those police officers unlawfully and unconstitutionally disarm or arrest the few but growing number of people that Open Carry. If more citizens would Open Carry then the public would be gradually get used to it and accept it.
8. Violence in general. Statistics have proven over and over again that those counties, cities or states that allow Open Carry or Concealed Carry without a permit, has much lower gun related crimes and violence.
9. If/when there is a major economic collapse you won't have access to or have the money to purchase guns and ammunition. There will be chaos, mayhem and violence after such an event occurs so that you may need to protect your family and property from those who would become lawless and unconstitutional.
10. Number 9 would also apply in the event of an Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) event as the result of extreme solar flares that some experts say our world is due for at any time, or an enemy attack.
As a Christian, I believe that God is ultimately the one who protects His people. He certainly can do it without our use of guns. But also see throughout God's word the Bible that He ordains the means as well as the end. We also know this from experience. God doesn't need doctors and surgeries but uses them. He could get me a job while I do no searching, but He uses my searching. My hope and prayer is that I never have to shoot someone if I ever get in better financial shape and get another gun. But these reasons and perhaps some I have overlooked for now are good reasons why you may want to not only own a gun, but also open or conceal carry a gun. God's word permits it, and it is certainly constitutional. Soli Deo Gloria!
