anyone know why the sheriff told the interviewer that you can't OC an automatic weapon???? this isn't true is it?
That was just a weak attempt to scare the general public. I believe that if you were legally in posession of an automatic weapon that open carrying it would indeed be legal.
that was my thought as well. sounds like willfully mis-informing the public.

Interesting article.... County Sheriff Wriggleworth's comments leave no doubt where the "us vs them" attitude is coming from. And it isn't "us".
Man I am glad my Sheriffs down here don't have that attitude!! :cuss::banghead:
I second that!! Wow - he's not shameful about his position, is he (Wigglesworth)? In reference to the Ponderosa incident, he says that when we OC and get together, "someone's gonna get hurt". Hmm... only by officers making illegal detainments! :banghead: I'm so sick of the misinformation....

Ive never saw anything prohibiting the carrying of an automatic weapon, so I would say its not illegal. Its not practical either. If you happened to have to use that automatic weapon, there would be a tidal wave of opposition from the people, the police, gunowners, the media, and then the lawmakers.

well Glock 18's are selective fire...

if its in semi auto mode it wouldnt be much different than a glock 17 id assume.

could possibly have a very bad outcome if the media got hold of verifiable info that it was full auto and you used it in an SD situation.

The thing is, even if you only fired in semi-auto mode, the moment the press found out a full auto weapon was present, they'd have a field day. And considering how expensive they are, I would not want to risk losing one to an evidence locker.

Ok, I'm blind. I can't seem to find the poll to be able to take it. I've gone to all the links but the poll continues to elude me. Where is the thing.
