It just seems most people ask "Why do you need a gun?" And of course we all know the answers:

1) I can't carry a cop
2) It takes minutes for 911 when seconds count
3) I can't call 911 when I'm dead

etc., etc., etc.

I know that in the liberal havens they condition the sheeple that guns are only used by bad guys and bad hunters.

A good answer, IMHO, is to say it is to shoot rattlesnakes that try to strike the horse,

or, it's to protect against bear attacks. Be careful of the bears.

Turn it back on them to show they are really ignorant.
