I know I have read of some people open carrying rifles at some of the open carry meets, I am wondering what the general thoughts of people are on this.
I am 100% Pro gun, carry.. but personally I see this as a horrible idea on many levels.
I don't really see any practical or tactical reason for carrying a rifle in todays society, I actually see it as more of a counter tactical reason with the huge risk of actually using it and over peneteration. Some may argue this but I have put thousands of Hollow point and FMJ rounds through my AK and have see the damage they do to tree's and can't imagine ever actually using them in a city as a self defense method.
And I guess my 2nd reason follows the 1st.. If there isn't a real practical reason for carrying them I think we risk lawmakers actually making the laws more restricitve because of people carrying them. I know we have some favorable laws with us now in regards to OC and just need to educate the police on them :banghead: but having pictures of people carrying AK's gives the anti gun groups to much ammo.. I can see lawmakers listening to a arguement being made of what society would seem like if everyone walked around with a assult rifle on them ( 3rd world country)
Any how just curious on the groups opinions, seems like a horrible ideal to me
