Does anyone else agree that carrying an AR-15 in public is lame and is more less a cry for attention, never the less an unloaded AR only intensifies that fact?
I think carrying an AR15 especially with proper accessories is in no way lame it is tacticool because if I were of the criminal element, I could lets say take my knife and
relieve him of his unloaded weapon. Or better yet with his BYOB AR15 (Bring your own Bullets) I could just
go on a mayhem spree and promptly return his unloaded weapon to him with a free empty magazine so he had some explaining to do when the cops arrive for the manic who just shot at(but missed) clouds and innocent puppies.
Please, note my sarcasm above, with the fact that no puppies or clouds were hurt in the typing of this post.
Carrying an AR15 is just a liability which gets worse when you have it unloaded. I really need to find a news article about the story i want to share because when I was working 3rd shift I asked a Toledo LEO why he was in so late compared to normal. His response was about an aggravated burglary, guy walked into unlocked back door, wife paniced grabbed lockbox with gun took it to husband who went downstairs and confronted the BG, upon being told to freeze BG puts his hands up says "I just wanna talk", takes step forward. Homeowner pulls trigger, gun not loaded, gets ass beat ends up in intensive care along with having his Tv and GUN STOLEN.
So in all seriousness and kidding aside why would you risk having your gun end up in the wrong hands?
(I ramble and bolded the important parts)
And and not to mention we are
digressing from the rules of the forum (SEE RULE 11) I read last night that state this site is not to be about carrying long guns. To which point I believe we have been more than kind letting you ask the question as well as answering it
edit: to mention rules
