Why I Carry A GUN

About this video

Colion reflects on his personal journey to carrying a firearm, describing how his initial feelings of awkwardness gave way to a deliberate choice rooted in his evolving understanding of real-world dangers. He explains that his decision wasn’t prompted by a specific incident but by recognizing that evil and dangerous people exist, and that carrying a gun is one of several protective measures he can take simultaneously. Colion frames concealed carry as a practical tool for self-preservation that empowers him to defend himself and loved ones when other options aren’t available.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that carrying a firearm is a response to understanding the reality of dangerous people in the world, not necessarily to a personal traumatic event
• He teaches that self-defense strategies—including prayer, situational awareness, avoiding risky areas, martial arts, and carrying weapons—are not mutually exclusive and can be layered together
• Colion views the gun as the most effective tool for lethal force defense when needed, emphasizing that the person wielding it is the key mitigating factor in its use
