Apparently a fast guy with a knife can win over a gun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=js0h...LRYi6O-rEPG3cw -- - Frank Krygowski |

It should have been some Quentin Tarantino-esqe shootout. This definitely proves the superiority of handlebar baskets. Just keep your Glock in there with your posies and donettes. I'd have to reach around to my jersey pocket, and any decent gun would probably stretch the hell out of it. I need the Garmin gun mount. -- Jay Beattie. |

It should have been some Quentin Tarantino-esqe shootout. This definitely proves the superiority of handlebar baskets. Just keep your Glock in there with your posies and donettes. Well, there's a tradeoff between a handlebar basket and a handlebar bag. With the basket, the gun's easily visible but it bounces around. Sometimes it slides under the donettes, slowing your draw time. The handlebar bag can have a special holster pocket. But then there are tradeoffs between an inside pocket over an outside pocket. Inside for concealed carry, but you lose a second flipping the bag open. Outside for open carry, but some people get touchy about that. Being a good-old-boy American bicyclist can be complicated! That's why most of them drive pickups. -- - Frank Krygowski |

This reminds me of visiting my family in Florida one year. There was a TV news story about a woman who had dropped her purse in Publix (a supermarket) and her gun had gone off. The news crew was interviewing other women shoppers about the incident. The women were criticizing the shopper with the errant gun for bringing the wrong type of gun to the supermarket, and were showing the news crews their own guns. |

When I worked in Texas, women commonly drove their pickups to the grocery with a rifle in the rack (and likely something in the purse as well). Can't recall any incidents with either. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
