Fuck yes, I'd open carry an assault rifle. Except mine would be a 5.56mm AKS-74U with a LaRue AK irondot. What's stopping you? Local(city) ordinances? |

Nope, don't have anything the would point to me having a gun, No Sig Ball cap, No Colt T-Shirt, No NRA bumper sticker, so when the firing starts, I'm not singled out because of the advertisement, it will be a surprise when the gun come out.

Arfcom answer, carry both M16 and CCW. So you can get your rifle back after some jerk sneaks up and swipes it?

I'm certainly not opposed to having the option, but carrying a title 1 weapon around all day would be a pain, and I already get detained by the cops for random things a lot as it is...

I dont think crime or society is bad enough now to warrant the extra effort and hassle that comes along with carrying one. Also I think it would cause way too much panic and confusion even in texas where the law allows it.
Now i wouldnt mind if my agency would allow me to open carry off duty. I think i would only take advantage of it maybe once a month but it would be nice if i was going to the movies and didnt want my gun jabbing me in the back for an hour. It would also come in handy when im walking around the dog park and dont want a hot and sweaty holster rubbing on me. Still, open carry of a rifle is allowed now in TX and i dont do it. I dont think open carry of a handgun is even a good idea except for specific situations. |

I can carry my subgun openly or CCW as it's classified as a "pistol due to length in Michigan. For as fucked up as our gun laws were for a while, open carry of a firearm has always been legal regardless of the type. We can only CCW "pistols", which are any handgun as well as rifles and scatterguns shorter than 30". This means folding stock guns like the XCR, AKM underfolder and short rifles like the AUG and Beretta CX4 Storm are Good To Go.
I'm waiting for the day when someone carries an AK into a shopping mall and get skullfucked with a rubber chainsaw by 5 cities worth of SWAT teams. |

It is only on rare occasions i've felt it appropriate to open carry a handgun. |

Interesting! I wonder if you could somehow alter a sling to such a configuration that you could argue it was also a scabbard or holster. |

On several occasions when I still rode, I slung an AR15 and an AK47 across my back and rode to the range on my motorcycle. I even stopped for refreshments at the gas station.

I sure would. Legally, I could walk around open carrying an unloaded rifle/shotgun. Even my 12.5" 870 or M14, but the thing is, I would have to have it unloaded and ammo in my pocket instead of in the gun. Also, I would definitely have the cops called on me anywhere I went and would get bs charges on me like disturbing the peace.
