I'll note that a gun is unlikely to help if someone does burst into your
home intent on violence. John has told us several times about the
incident when that actually happened to him as his family ate dinner. Of
course, he doesn't eat dinner with his gun in a holster at his side, so
his gun was no use.

State Statutes are relatively uniform in that regard.

How about if a guy riding a tricycle on a suburban bike path sees
someone who makes him nervous? Is he allowed to kill the guy, or is he
limited to just "winging" him?

There's no provision in the laws for 'warning shot' or 'wing'*.  Deadly
force is lawful to stop a threat to human life.  Check your Ohio Statutes.

allowed to do with the gun he carries whenever he rides.

Unlike Krygowski, I know exactly what I'm legally allowed to do with
my guns.

IIRC, he started carrying it after someone tore his jacket. That doesn't
seem like a creditable threat to human life.

Wow, Krygowski is totally obsesssed with me and what I do.

Whereas I pretty much limit my posts about him to his behavior here on
RBT, he's totally obsessed with my activities that don't affect nor
relate to him in the slightest.

I've never experienced that level of control over other people before.
