When in Rome... open/constitutional carry, stand your ground?
- alistairSH 3y agoOpen carry is legal in both states. But I want nothing to do with owning/carrying guns. And haven't ever felt the need - most dogs give up chase once you pass their property. And I've only had a dog get my back tire once, and never flesh (though it does happen).
- aeyes 3y agoIf there is more than one dog then you are almost always in big trouble. I got bitten on a bike before, we have lots of aggressive stray dogs here. Even running routes have to be carefully planned to avoid the dogs.

- klyrs 3y ago> But I want nothing to do with owning/carrying guns. I said "when in Rome" to signal distaste at the idea, for whatever that's worth. On the other hand, if bicycling leftists armed themselves and started blasting away every car and dog that made them feel threatened, it might move the needle on gun rights in a way that right-wing shooters fail to. And, I've had several dogs escape their fences. They aren't just noisy.
- chasd00 3y agoi was walking my two dogs Sunday before last and was jumped by pitbulls roaming the neighborhood. A passing Dominos delivery driver pretty much saved the lives of both my dogs. I got him to role down his window and literally threw one of my dogs through it, then when the other one got separated for a min she literally jumped through the open window too. I jumped in and paid the driver $20 to take me home, the pits chased the car for maybe a block. I have a pistol and was thinking about carrying it but that means every time i take my dogs for a walk i have to get it out of the safe and put it back in the safe. I have kids so can't just hang a holster with the leashes. Too much hassle and I know i'll eventually stop taking it with me. What i ended up doing was getting bear spray that can attach to the leashes. Now I can't forget to take protection with me when taking the dogs out because it's physically attached to the leash. edit: this happened in Dallas TX
- fransje26 3y agoI, too, like cycling around with my shotgun. It nicely complements the spandex outfit.
- klyrs 3y agoMissed opportunity here. I found a number of gun racks for bikes, but no hardpoint mounts for gun turrets on bikes.

- klyrs 3y agoPfft, it only aims forward. Surely we can do better.
