Yes - or based on their own phobias. I know people who are
horribly afraid of spiders, garter snakes, honeybees,
graveyards and more.
 
Smart? No. Logical? No. But at least they're not carrying
lethal weaponry.
 

My daughter for example used to take the train to work in
inclement or bitter cold Chicago winters.
No longer. ...

 
You're the anecdote master, Andrew. But IIRC you've not yet
found a horrifying anecdote about quiet bike paths in
suburban Florida, near our timid tricycle rider.
 

 
The murder of this thread was of an unarmed man on a bike path.
 

 
Just because it can happen doesn’t mean it will happen, going out on
limb
but I suspect that CatTrike Ryder will be perfectly safe with or
without
carrying any guns on his rides.
 
I suspect he knows this as well, but simply likes having the gun on
him?

I spent more then a year in Vietnam where people did, on occasion,
shoot at you and I can assure you that a firearm did give you a
certain sense of security :-)
 
Even when they weren't shooting :-)

 
lol...yeah, let's compare an active war zone to a florida bike path -
that's rational.....
 

 
Well, there's Florida and then again there's Florida.  Goes both ways in
different areas and unlike Mr Tricycle I am not an expert on where/when.
 
A better comparison may be Vietnam in the 1960s to Chiraq yesterday

None of which applies to a bike path in florida
 

+1

Be more truthful if folks just said they like guns, than the reaching for
justification which isn’t going to convince anyone!
