I've no idea who said that "first", but I can tell you I first heard it a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.
Going on the premise that the population is divided into three basic personality types, Wolves, Sheep, Sheepdogs, it's a Sheepdog's answer to the "Why do you carry a gun?" question so often asked by sheep.
Do I personally think it's the most appropriate answer to that question that best fits all situations? No, I don't. I'd reserve that answer for only the most condescending, snooty types. Most of the time people are simply politely curious. For those polite types I try to be as invitingly informative and welcoming as I possibly can.
