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.

Krygowski has claimed that keeping a gun in your house makes it more
likely you'll get shot, and yet he says he's done it, so I guess his
personal experience is evidence that his claim was wrong.

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.

Well, in spite of your brags about not being afraid you've guns,
you've shown no evidence of it.

People who carry guns for "protection" (a common motive) are almost  by
definition afraid something will happen. That's not bravery. That's fear.
