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.

 
 
Stranger how your posts change over the years. I specifically remember
you recounting how you "had shot a.22 a few times" in an attempt to
justify your knowledge of firearms, and now you kept one in the house?

John, believe it or not I don't use this forum to post absolutely
everything I do. Heck, when I casually mention anything I do, you and
your timid buddy always claim I'm lying anyway.

Nobody claims that he's lying, but I suspect that he does.

The gun was no big deal. It wasn't even mine. A friend asked me to store
it for a while because he didn't want his inquisitive young son to find
it and horse around with it. It was a bit of a strange request, but I
took charge of it for a while. After a few years, I returned it.

Another imaginary friend....

If you expect everyone to report _everything_ here, you're way behind!
You've never told us what guns do you have in your house now. You never
told us the model of AR that you use. Come on, impress us!  ;-)

Soon after I offered an opinion and a preference, Krygowski demanded
that I document my skill and experience. He listed a number of things
he indicated that he'd done without a shred of evidence.

"OK, tell us your biking experience, please. (And drop the 3rd grader
insults.)

How much recreational riding have you done on roads? How many years
commuting to work by bike on normal roads? How much other utility
riding have you done on ordinary roads? How much overnight or longer
traveling have you done on normal roads? How much bike camping? How
many U.S. states have you ridden in? How many foreign countries? How
many century rides have you done? How many rides longer than
100 miles in one day? How many times have you organized and led
friends on road rides? How many times have you organized and run
multi-hundred rider event rides on normal roads?

Answer in detail, please. That will allow us to gauge whether your
courage and experience really are more than mine."

He's yet to document any of his "skills and experience."
