The general rule is: If you have a firearm for "defense" it's because
you're afraid of something or someone.

 People taking precaution for things they fear is a pretty common
occurrence. Many precautionary actions, such as carrying a gun have
little or no downside, unless the person is actually afraid of guns.
 Everyone is afraid of something. Krygowski is afraid of dogs, guns and
bi-directional bike paths. His greatest fear is having to look at
himself, his behavior, his lifestyle, and his motivations.
 

Whether or not the fear is justified is a separate matter. In general,
the safer the environment actually is, the more timid the gun owner must be.

 "Rules" straight out of Krygowski's fertile imagination
 

I don't see how those points can be logically denied.

 There's so much you group thinking, gun fearing wussies don't see.
