Many times people ask me, “Are you a golfer?” And my typical response is, “No, but I play golf.” To embrace the identity of ‘golfer’ is to take on some attributes that I really don’t want to take on. It sort of raises certain expectations for me when I get on the golf course.
In the same way, being a person who owns a gun does not automatically make someone a ‘gun owner’ in terms of their identity.
