I used to know a fine fellow named Jack. Jack was very smart, very rough and a gambler. He spent a lot of time in places I would not have the courage to go.
I asked him one time if he was not a little scared and did he carry a gun.
His answer has stuck with me to this day. He said,” If you carried a gun and pulled it out and used it you were in trouble. If you carried a gun and pulled it out and did not use it you were in another sort of trouble. So why carry a gun, it was just trouble either way.”
