I don't think I said my interpretation of the word should come from the dictionary. But thanks for looking that up. :)


I shall do that. But bigger guns will add considerable weight in my commute. I'm a weight winnie. ;) :D

I don't live in fear, actually I feel comfortable whenever I commute on my bike. Texas CHL is very comforting.

7 pages already for a thread started 4 days ago? I /love/ it! :) This thread delivers! :) :) :)

:D:D I hear ya! This thread is fun!

In case it has not been mentioned I'd personally prefer a shortened folded AK-47 or short barrel shotgun. http://www.marstar.ca and look up the shotguns. You can get a Remington shorty legal on the rifles licence (AKA longarms lic., AKA FAC lic., AKA (current) PAL lic) in Canada. However we don't have open carry. :( But if the bike is the only transportation you have the keep it covered and keep on riding. I think that shorty was 4+1 or 3+1.

http://www.pyramidair.com and look up DROZDS. Runs off 12gm CO2 (unthreaded) so if you've got a co2 pump that can use unthreaded that you got dual use. It's a single shot, 3-shot, and 6 shot machine pistol. Small compact but it does have a loud report. I've seen and heard it dry fired before. I've yet to see it loaded up and fired. Reports are it's good up to 10-15meters accuracy. :) :eek: I want one! :D Set it to 3-shot burst and let it go.

I swear... I so literally want to see that. I know someone is bound to make that...

Very close. But actually completely backward.*

For the DIY'er buy AK-47 mags and jump on Bittorrent search engine (needs a Bit Torrent client of choice, I recommend Utorrent) and search up AK-47 and you'll find a DIY build in there. I saw it before on YouTube but never bothered downloading it. Basically you can build the AK-47 with basic tools and some labour. It's a step my step video on how to build and there is a 1000rd punishment test that I remember at the end using the cheapest ammo and the gun build held up. While not as sexy as the original Russian wooded version it's not bad from wahtI can recall. The build is NOT for automatic. It's semi-auto only.

Anyways, I'm off for a night ride.

Now that's the kind of putdown I really enjoy -- total humiliation.

No. Really it isn't. Apparently a solid grasp of spelling at a grade school level isn't a requirement for a concealed carry license. What I find most distressing from this thread is that the two most adamant proponents of firearm ownership don't possess a 5th grade skill mastery of the English language.
I don't have a problem with firearm ownership whether for personal protection, hunting, or target shooting. I love to shoot. I used to shoot competitively. What I have a problem with is the stereotypical image that is projected upon all gun owners based on the attitudes and idiocy of the over-zealous vocal minority of gun owners.

Your *Brain*. Not to be confused with Brian, the guy some mistook for Christ. Yes, your *Brain*. It is the best weapon you can have. Don't ride without it.

Brain, brian, panzy, pansy, who gives a rats a55! everyone makes typing mistakes :eek: when did this become the F'N "Spell Check" forum :mad:

Remember when Homer Simpson got a gun and used it for opening beer and turning off lights? Moe even made five guns into one. That's the gun I want.

That would be a supergun!

1) Colloquialisms don't translate well to writing. Incorrect use of the word "like". It becomes apparent that these are not mere "typing mistakes", but problems with your grammar in general.

2) Your instead of You're. Misused homonym; again, not a typo.

3) Ackward / run-on sentence.

4) Redundant, misused synonyms. "A bit of" or "A tad of". Not both.

5) Thats (sic) instead of "who's"

6) Entire sentence is ackwardly phrased.


Not that I wish to turn this into the Spell Check forum, but when you are attempting to sway an audience, it's critical to do the following: a) maintain your composure, which you have not; and b) maintain a convincing level of intelligence, if that is the basis for your argument.
You argue that common sense and brains/intelligence will not get people out of a situation when facing an armed assailant, and that a firearm is a necessity in these situations.
I maintain that common sense and intelligence can keep people from entering a situation where a firefight is the outcome. It seems to me that much of your facade is based on the fact that you carry a firearm and are convinced of your own ability to wield it in a more efficient manner than any opponent. How would your commuting outlook differ without the firearm?

Or just get a SUPERGUN!

Hey Mr. Spell Check Master, you got one misspelled word there. I put it in bold so you can find it easy! :D :D

Really? Well you learn something new everyday... :D 'Course, we still win. English revolution (civil war) 1642 - 1651. On and off. Where we got bored with having a monarch and got rid of them. Er....

I got another thing wrong as well - 'no-one likes us we don't care' is sung to 'camptown races'.

Now lets get back to the thing that really unites us all: being rude about the French...:rolleyes:

For now I have my U-lock for protection, it sticks out of the back compartment of my messenger bag and it take less than a second to whip out. After hearing reports of muggings and close calls on some local bike paths I'm definitely going to get some mace, or maybe even some bear spray. What, you think I should not only live a carless lifestyle (which I do for the most part, and in itself I'm not complaining about) yet also not ride the routes that take me to see my friends and family? Yeah, OK, I won't go see my friends and family anymore, and let me go head and call my local government and tell them its a very bad idea for them to spend millions and millions of dollars on bike paths because our smile, patience, positive outlook on life, and kind and gentle spirit, for some reason, isn't keeping the muggers away, and its a shame but our only way to deal with the problem is to not use the bike paths so don't waist the money!

Get real!

It seems that those that carry weapons couldn't care less that someone else chooses not to, yet those that choose not to carry seem to get their panties in a bunch because others do choose to arm themselves. Why is that?

...and if you choose not to arm yourself then find yourself cornered by several thugs who are about to beat/rob/****/kill you and a citizen pulls his gun and offers to defend you would you ask him not to on principle, and to allow the attackers to continue?

BTW, my primary weapon of choice is my brain, but I don't mind the force projection optional extra attachments that my primary weapon allows me use whether that be U-lock, knife, gun, execution of evation tactics, etc.

The anti gun people are simply afraid of guns. End of story, perhaps their fear would be better placed on cars or motorcycles, etc. Either these people have never been around guns and just hear about them on the news or have had someone killed by them. But more deadly things like autos dont get the same treatement probably familararity. And before spellcheckers start on me I know I cnannot spell or type, I am incredibly slow typing this poorly, so back off.

Thats sort of what I said !

All we need now are the A&S + Car-Free forumites to chime in with their weapons of choice !


lol... What happens if someone uses their brain to attack you ?

The best weapon is either cat or dog poop, period. People hate to get their windshields dirty, so feed your dog some rich food like BBQ, load it up in the brown paper bag and deposit it on the offending vehicle. There's a bonus if you can set the paper bag on fire :D

Here's an interesting custom solution... albeit on a motorscooter...


The site wouldn't allow linking to photos.

Why do you assume that going armed means we're in terrible or constant fear? I've never understood how or why antis make this leap. I don't live in fear because I'm armed, anymore than I'm living in fear if I buckle a safety belt or wear a bike helmet. In fact having a firearm makes me less afraid, though I understand the legal and tactical value of caution and would never pick a fight.

It's also odd how you people are always assuming we're carrying because it's "manly" or "macho." I'm not particularly either, and I know plenty of women who carry. So what? It's not a phallus, it's a firearm. Get over it.
