I carry a sword when I ride.

Used to work at a restaurant downtown where us waiters usually got off at the same time,(late,)usually carried at least $100 cash, and it was not unheard of for them to be robbed by muggers that would lie in wait. Yeah I carried a compact .25 with hollowpoints, especially 'cuz I was a bicycle commuter. Usually, I carry pepper mace or just my u-lock, though, but everyone's situation is different, and it would be nice if everyone could accept this. Not everywhere is McDonald's Playland, and not every gun owner is a non-sentient psychopath, despite the stereotypes...

Word

i'd support gun ownership if a state militia was there to back up people who are getting ****ed over by things like the patriot act. perhaps our legislators would have actually read through the damn thing if they thought the federal agents they sent in might not come out.

I've thought about getting a CC and carrying when mountain biking, especially with increased bear and mountain lion sightings.

i'm working on no handed backwards circles with my 12 gauge. recoil rocks.


"my other bikes are beer cans and plastic forks"

give someone a gun, a black eye, and some porn and you're guaranteed to look less like a hippo.

Once I was hanging out with some NorNorCal hick-hippie types. We sat around a card table on their front porch drinking beer. One guy thinks it would be fun to break out some guns and shoot stuff. They were handguns of some sort. One guy had a hunting rifle, but something was wrong with it. So we sat around the table, occasionally setting up beercans and shooting at them, sitting down. Good times.

There's no need to have a gun when you ride. Everyone knows that you're not cool unless you can roundhouse kick someone while riding or trackstanding, like some bizzare combination of Chuck Norris and Sheldon Brown.

(Because Chuck Norris reverence = new hipster fad. Guns = bad. Rhyming = rad!)

That is something I always wondered. What do the guys do who ride in bear country? The only thing we have to fear in texas is rattle snakes and and cats.

I can't grow facial hair... damnit.

if you mean "strapped for cash", then yes, i am.

okay, just read the thread. i wonder if i'd get in more trouble if i had a gun...i might think "no one can ****ing beat me!" and start **** with drivers or shoot out their tires if they cut me off.

wow....some people must really love their lives enough to threaten to end someone elses-and I'm in the military! I mean, I'm a rather big pacifist (I know its a contradiction being in the service), but I figure if I can't solve it with words and compromise, then I've always got the u-lock and pocket knife. If that can't solve my problems then, tough friggin ish for me I guess because I have no interest in escalating the situation oto spending some jail time or having a slaughter on my conscious.....besides there is always a bigger fish on the food chain (AKA that redneck you piss off and shoot at probably has three huge guns and some "Deliverance" style revenge planned for you)

yeah, all that is why i'm glad i don't carry a gun. i'm not sure i'd handle it well, and either i'd get myself in trouble or i'd do something i'd regret. i try to be a pacifist, even though i fail sometimes.

guns make great horns, try it, you know you want to.

That's what I'm talkin' about! Guns are so inelegant.

Shoulder strap will do the trick .... ask the swiss army boys

This made me giggle like a school girl fro some reason.

The saving grace is that most guys can't shoot worth a dam. Go to the range sometime. Good times for all.

I'm pretty sure the only guns that are going to stop a bear ain't gonna be easily concealed.

I own a few guns and go to the range every now and then, but I wouldn't carry one for the same reasons as humancongereel.
Not legal in IL anyway.

If I had to choose between my life and someone who was gonna kill me, I can safely say I'd do 'em. Might as well, cause after he's done with me, he's probably gonna go do it to someone else.

the white deep vs with the tech nine? or the pink deep vs with the uzi?
