Hmph! I think I will go read my book now.
All I'm saying, is don't point something that you don't want pointed back at you if things don't end up going your way. Maybe you think you are invincible and will always have the upper hand. Oh, well. That would only be concern for your safety.
But if you go around riding with your gun and let everybody know it, then maybe assaulters will not think of cyclists as easy prey and not attack. Or, they may just make sure they have a gun next time they attack a cyclist.
Kim, you do make a valid point that everyone can evaluate. Your contribution is helpful.
As far as Ovoleg, just ignore him. He seems to be on a quest to get banned continuously. He will just become more and more insulting until he achieves his wish. Those that have put up with him for a while just ignore it and laugh it off. I just wanted to make sure you weren't influenced by ovoleg's posts, they really have nothing to do with the content.
