How could the firefighter have 'thought twice' if he was the one to draw a gun and shoot someone in the first place? In my naiive little world, if there were NO handguns at the scene, then NO ONE would've been shot in the first place! Crazy though, no?  No flaw in my logic... It was a feeble attempt at sarcasm. I do support gun ownership, but there is really no reason to pack a pistol on a bike ride. Reactionary times, being able to shoot under stress, etc. The idiot shootin' at the cyclist would have been deserving of a little peace through superior fire power from the cyclist, but that does not mean that I am advocating toting a pistol on a ride. You are not the one person to decide that for everyone. Stay focused people. These are individual choices made for many reasons. There is not, nor will there ever be, an ability to make one simplistic blanket statement like that. |
