About/​Contact/​Commenting

My name is Patrick and I live in Dayton, Ohio. I’m a father of three won­der­ful girls and I’ve been mar­ried to an amaz­ing woman since 2001.

My inter­ests include firearms, motor­cy­cles, 2^nd Amendment activism, hunt­ing (bow), reload­ing, archery, cook­ing, read­ing, movies, com­put­ers, and a host of other things that would bore you to death.

I am a small “l” lib­er­tar­ian with a lean towards conservatism.

I belong to the NRA, Buckeye Firearms Association, and the Second Amendment Foundation.

I am a cer­ti­fied NRA instruc­tor in Pistol and Home Safety. Please con­tact me if you need instruc­tion or would like to qual­ify for the Ohio Conceal Carry License or any permit/​license that requires the NRA Pistol course.

Policy

This is my blog and I write about my pas­sions and my inter­ests. If any­thing here makes you wet your panties¹, just hit alt-​f4. I’m really not inter­ested in your fears.

I appre­ci­ate your com­ments that abide by the fol­low­ing guidelines:

1. Avoid pro­fan­i­ties or foul lan­guage unless it is con­tained in a nec­es­sary quote or is rel­e­vant to the comment.
2. Stay on topic.
3. Disagree, but avoid ad hominem attacks.
4. Threats are treated seri­ously and reported to law enforcement.
5. Spam and adver­tis­ing are not per­mit­ted in the com­ments area.

These guide­lines are very gen­eral and can­not cover every pos­si­ble sit­u­a­tion. This blog does not nec­es­sar­ily agrees with or oth­er­wise endorses any par­tic­u­lar com­ment. I reserve the right to fil­ter or delete com­ments or to deny post­ing priv­i­leges entirely at my dis­cre­tion. By sub­mit­ting a com­ment here, you grant this site a per­pet­ual license to repro­duce your com­ments and name/​website in attri­bu­tion. If you feel your com­ment was fil­tered inap­pro­pri­ately, please use the con­tact form and let me know.

Additionally, the com­ment­ing sys­tem is set to auto-​moderate any com­ments from indi­vid­u­als who have not com­mented at this site before (or who are using a new email address), and any com­ments con­tain­ing cer­tain words and phrases (to pro­tect the authors and their fam­i­lies from cyber­stalk­ers who are still actively harass­ing them). If your com­ment is caught by that auto-​moderation, there is no need to resub­mit – it will be han­dled appro­pri­ately as soon as the authors are able to.

Mike Bonono (MikeB302000) has been sus­pended from com­ment­ing on this site, until he can be hon­est about what he did with the ille­gal guns he con­fessed to hav­ing.

Guy Cabot (Jadegold) has a life­time ban for trolling. Unfortunately the inter­net is for­ever and your rep­u­ta­tion car­ries forward.

Terms of Use

All web­sites have terms of use. I think that some of them are kind of intru­sive, but in gen­eral they’re upheld by the courts. So here are mine. By read­ing, link­ing to, quot­ing, print­ing out, or in any way mak­ing use of my weblog’s con­tent in any means, place, or forum, you agree to the following:

1. All orig­i­nal con­tent of angels​feartotread​.com is copy­righted by angelsfeartotread.com’s owner, presently Patrick, and is not to be used with­out per­mis­sion except as pro­vided herein. “walls of the city” and angels​feartotread​.com are trade­marks belong­ing to Patrick. In using angels​feartotread​.com you rec­og­nize that angels​feartotread​.com is pri­mar­ily a col­lec­tion of opin­ions of pri­vate cit­i­zens, that all con­tent is pro­vided on an as-​is basis, and that no fac­tual state­ment on this site should be relied upon with­out fur­ther inves­ti­ga­tion on your part suf­fi­cient to sat­isfy you in your inde­pen­dent judg­ment that it is true. Nothing writ­ten on this web­page should be con­strued as legal advice, legal coun­sel, or any­thing other than the per­sonal opin­ions of the writ­ers. These terms of use are sub­ject to change, and should be reviewed regularly.

In exchange for the access to angels​feartotread​.com con­tent described above, you agree not to sue angels​feartotread​.com or its owner and/​or authors for its con­tent, whether orig­i­nal or linked or quoted from another source, in any court, on any grounds what­so­ever in law or equity.
