Meanwhile, yours and John's pro-gun rants have apparently convinced
nobody that they should be carrying a gun while they ride. So far,
there's been only _one_ person here so timid as to carry a gun while
riding.

 I haven't seen any attempts to convince anyone to carry a gun...

"Yet more justification for carrying a gun."

 

Even John does not carry a gun while riding. Despite his attempts, he
hasn't convinced even himself.

 What attempts?

"Yet more justification for carrying a gun."

 

In fact, we're planning a visit to Wisconsin soon and I'm
thinking of borrowing my daughter's AR15 and doing some target
shooting with it. I've never shot a pistol grip rifle and all the
hoopla about them has made me curious.

 That's from a guy who made up a story about asking a friend if he [?]
could shoot his .45.

That friend invited me to shoot. Your memory is faulty.

On a club ride last week, a hot Corvette with very loud mufflers roared
past us, pedal to the floor, then its exhaust crackled loudly as it
rapidly came to a stop at a stop sign. One of my friends said "I bet
that made him feel two inches bigger."

I think that applies to your shooting as well.

... and I still think so.

"Am I qualified to talk about such things? Yes, by virtue of attending
multiple classes at various levels for each of the programs described
above. I've also acted as an editorial consultant on two well known
books dealing with those matters. I've written many articles on those
and related topics, and had some of them reprinted by publications in
other states and one other country. I no longer maintain the teaching
certification, but I've taught many cycling classes, I've written
scripts for and appeared in televised instructional spots, I've been
interviewed for newspapers and TV on such matters, and I've spoken (by
request) at city, regional and statewide gatherings."

All correct, thank you.

And speaking of legal: It's also legal for a man to don a feminine wig
plus a dress, and prance around pretending to be female. Actions can be
legal, yet still be silly and stupid.

Well said.

I remember when I suggested that I might have more bicycling skill and
experience then him and he imediately demanded that I provide him a
detailed account of all my bicycling skills and experiences.

Your memory is faulty. But feel free to tell us about your extensive education, scholarship and experience in cycling. I think if you leave out the times you've ridden back and forth on flat Florida bike trails, it shouldn't take you long.
