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, and
it's somethung I'd never do. Other than you, I've not seen anyone
trying to change anyone's opinions about anything.

lol...sure, you've never tried to change anyones opinion on something....

 

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

 What attempts >

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.

:-)  Get your testosterone up however you can!

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

That's from a guy who made up stories about his allegedly vast cycling experience.

 

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.

 "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 true...are you just practicing your cut-n-paste skills? That must be is since it doesn't contradict anything Frank has ever written here.

 

Well, lets see here. As of July 2023 you can legally catty a gin in
the state of Florida so basically Frankie is waving his arms and
shrieking about something that is perfectly legal where you live.

Of course it's legal. There's a famous phrase used for analyzing
legislative trends: "Follow the money." Gun industry lobbyists can
afford to fund right wing lawmakers who cater to gun fetishists. Sadly,
there's little money to be made by promoting sanity.

 Legislators respond to citizens' right to own guns, and I think that's
a good thing. Gun owners don't need anyone to tell them to own guns.

More willful ignornace on display
https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/06/us/kennesaw-georgia-gun-ownership/index.html
"In Kennesaw, Georgia, local law says that “every head of household residing in the city limits is required to maintain a firearm.” "

 

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.

 <shrug> I don't see anyone on RBT arguing against that, but you might
geet some objection if you claim that those males shoulod be allowed
to compete in women's athletics and hang out in women's rest rooms and
changing rooms.
 

As someone put it, "Clean your own house before you tell me how to
clean mine"

>
Tell us about your own defensive use of a gun while riding before
telling us how justified it is.

 Krygowski continues to demand that others give him personal
information that's none of his business.
 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.

That's because your claims were undocumented bragging, and remain so, dumbass.
