Not too many guns. Too many people that shouldn't have them.

I don't wish to quibble but really... too many guns. Your scenario leads to discussions becoming showdowns with handguns.... if you really mean that funetical I'll have to shoot you.

A man on a bicycle with his son should not need a gun to defend himself. There should be no reason for him to have one. Even if he did, he was shot at from behind, so there's a good chance it wouldn't have done him any good.

Until someone figures out a way to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and crazy people, I will exercise my right to legally carry one, and hope I never need to use it.

A carbon fiber gun maybe.... otherwise too heavy for road use!

We already have guns of carbon fiber. Some parts of the frame and grips are CF. Glock and many others make polymer-framed guns and have for years. The current crop of firearms are perfectly suited to biking with. Unless you're racing. Then I'd go with a modern carbon fiber dagger. Anything's better than nothing and it sure is light. Afterall, we're out there to win at all costs!

It's a joke, Swede. I leave the high-tech cutlery at home, but we do have plastic guns. Guy's gotta have a variety of hobbies. All the world is not a velodrome.

I've got an alloy frame revolver. Quite light, but you wouldn't want to shoot it.
