Guns On Bikes???
Why in the world would you need to carry a gun while riding a bike? If it is
truly that bad where you ride, I'd suggest another route. I live in Florida and also possess a CCW but would never consider carrying a gun on my bike. While the laws vary from state to state as to where a gun may be carried or how it may be transported, most agree on one thing. The use of "deadly force" MAY be allowed in a situation where there is absolutely no other option. This means if you are able to run away or otherwise avoid a conflict you ARE NOT justified to use deadly force. Depending upon the state you're in, these conditions may not apply if you are in your home. In Florida, for example, a law known as the Castle Doctrine says you MAY have the right to use deadly force, without withdrawling, within your home should you believe yourself or your family is in iminant danger. Notice that I capitolized the words MAY. This is because, should you shoot someone, whether or not you were justified to use deadly force will most likely be decided by a jury. Anytime you use a gun, even if you just point it at someone, it becomes a very serious situation and you will be held accountable for your actions. If you do have a CCW in the state you're in, you should know it is your responsibility, and no one elses, to know and understand all the laws governing it. So please, be a responsible gun owner, be wise, and leave the gun at home when you're out riding. Take care - BUBBA |

Thanks BUBBA. I'll take care of myself while armed with a concealed pistol
on my bike. You take care of yourself however you wish. Your opinions are - hit the dictionary now - anile. I'm sure your opinions are heartfelt like all opinions are. The only value in opinion is from the investment in them and their expression. It appears that your investment is slim - depauperate and intellectually impoverished. I trust that this isn't the Pampering Baron of Florida. "Bubba@FL" wrote in message om... | Why in the world would you need to carry a gun while riding a bike?

OOOUCH! How does one get so paranoid? Not enough hugs as a child, maybe.
You see, Doug, those of us that do not suffer from from low self-esteem do not feel the need to carry guns everywhere we go, nor do we need to try and use elaborated words to make ourselves feel important. So please forgive me for not being able to relate to your reasoning. By the way, depauperate refers to a state of impoverishment. Therefore, your statement is redundant.

You have to consider where and when you ride. I thought about it when I
lived outside of Miami. There may be a few places where this is necessary. Some people just carry them for insurance. I guess lugging around a few pounds of steel your whole life for the off chance you will get in a situation where a gun gets you out of trouble (more than the chance it gets you into more trouble) is worth it to some people. Other than that, some people just like carrying a gun around. It is somewhat like the roads versus paths argument, where some say either is totally idiotic. It depends on the cyclist, road, the path, the traffic on the road or path, the time of day, head/tailwinds, your mood, etc. I ride to and from work where a path and road are roughly parallel. I take all different combinations. "Bubba@FL" wrote in message om... Why in the world would you need to carry a gun while riding a bike?

Let me guess, you got anile and depauperate from your "NRA thesaurus of
arcane insults"? I guess they didn't offer advice that metaphors work best singly - slim, depauperate and impoverished? "Doug Huffman" wrote in message ... Thanks BUBBA.

Guns On Bikes???
Oooh! the old "pop psychology" comeback. That's about as original as
platform shoes. I'm just wondering when we get to the part where you say "If people like you ran America, we would be speaking (German, Russian, Arabic, etc.) right now". As if carrying around a concealed handgun is a purely logical thing, with no emotional factors at all. I feel and act different when I drive the big diesel work truck versus my lay back and be friendly recumbent bike. I feel different when I'm carrying a gun. At first it is kind of exciting and comforting, but after a while, either creeps me out. Maybe after a long while you pretty much forget about it - rather like the shotgun in my closet. Here's where the guns on bikes thing didn't work: Truck driver yells at cyclist to get off road (you can bet that was true) cyclist flips off trucker (would he if he wasn't carrying?). Trucker drives towards cyclist, who pulls piece and tries to play Barney Fife - pretty stupid since the charges reflect he was carrying illegally. Cyclist wounds driver - who then rams cyclist (He could have probably killed him and gotten away with it). Cyclist arrested for murder 2. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04040/270970.stm Not that legal concealed carry is a big issue, but the I've got a gun - I'm not going to take that crap is a valid facet. you know, like westerns where everyone was packing so every slight turns into a duel. It reminds me of the video where a Moron purposefully has a fender bender with a neighbor who likes pull out the wrong way down a road Y in front of his house so he can save a half minute or so. Moron's wife is videoing the whole thing (can you say premeditated?) His stupidity is further proven by his openly approaching his neighbor's truck with his gun out. His neighbor slides out the other side with his 357, using his big truck as cover. The guy completely validates his stupidity by standing there and having a "quick draw" contest with a guy who already has cover and the drop on him. The video ends with Moron's wife screaming "He's down, stop shooting him!" while Neighbor methodically puts the last of three bullets in his now kneeling body. I just hope he didn't have kids - for their and the gene pool's sake. "Doug Huffman" wrote in message ... So your dictionary didn't include 'anile'? Or you went to your pop-psychology textbook?

I've often thought about carry a gun while riding. Not a real one, a replica or
realistic looking toy one. Carried in plain sight. I wouldn't draw it naturally, just wear in on my back or strapped to my waist. Now how many yahoos are going to delibrately buzz me or throw garbage at me, seeing what they think is an Uzi? Chris Law Greater Newark, DE |
