Bikes (cycling) and guns

[scottaschultz]

Whether he's easy or not depends on how well he's armed. But in general, and in my considerable experience riding in bad neighborhoods, criminals are like roaches and scatter at the gaze of the lawful. The more of us there are, the less they like being around. That's why they like to operate where the people are running scared.

"Raggedy Edge of the Verse" must be some fantasy land!

We're talking about THE PUBLIC ROADS here. No lawful man should ever have to leave them for fear of bandits. If you want to that's your problem.

I am not talking about "bandits". I am talking about gang bangers who will shoot you for wearing the wrong colors on their turf!

Because it's my right to travel the public roads. By your logic someone who gets broken into should just move or be blamed for "asking for trouble."

The town where I live used to have about 3,000 people and a flashing red light in the middle of town. Now there are over 20,000 people here with every major retailer and food chain you can think of and traffic jams during rush hour. Why do you think that is?

There is so much arrogance and bile in this thread I forgot what forum this is. Tone it down guys. The guy wants to carry a slightly higher capacity pistol on his bike, that's it.

Why do you think that is?

They ran.

Guys - I tried really hard to find a way to edit out the off-ropic responses and keep just the content that addressed the OPs question. In the end, I just couldn't get there.

This thread has too much rancor and too much bickering and not enough utility to keep open.

Sadly, this one is done.
