Perhaps you should have let me reply before starting a (premature & unwarranted) victory dance . . . just sayin' /img/vbsmilies/smilies/smile.gif
Edit: By the way, I never understand the vitriol some people express toward law-abiding citizens that choose to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights? Does it threaten your illusion that the world is a place where nothing bad happens without reason? As I said before, I have yet to carry while cycling -- but I wouldn't hesitate to if I lived in an area or had circumstances (known dangerous enemies, etc.) that warranted a precaution. I would not begrudge other law-abiding citizens the right to make that judgment for their own safety either.
Do you think the polemics flow both ways? Just asking...
Your "reply" still fails to address the issue at hand: carrying a firearm while riding a bicycle.
All your stats prove is that there are still even more stats out there that will disprove yours...so now what?
Perhaps you can answer the question as to how a properly stored and concealed firearm is going to assist a cyclist when attacked by a criminal. And please don't tell me the cyclist rides without his/her hands on the bars.
