No, John, I am not and never have been terrified of firearms. I'm not particularly interested in shooting, but I have done a reasonable amount of target shooting with friends and family. I have kept a gun in the house, not one used for protection, but used for target shooting. I don't do that any more because I'm just not that interested.
And I don't see how you can say that a person who refuses to ride a bike without the "protection" of a gun is braver than I am.
People who carry guns for "protection" (a common motive) are almost  by definition afraid something will happen. That's not bravery. That's fear.
