Better judged by twelve than carried by six. I understand, but keep PERSEC/OPSEC in mind.

That's a big pack and the gun is broken down and thus slow to deploy. Why not carry a handgun in a smaller and less noticeable pack or briefcase that is instantly deployed?
I know the rifle provides more firepower but most situations where you need a gun you need it right now. |

Protecting oneself is certainly prudent.
Breaking laws and bragging about it on the internet, not so much. |

I'd much rather have a loaded and ready handgun over a broken down rifle. |

Quoted:
Yesterday marked one year! I work in downtown Chicago and live in Indiana. I ride the train in and out of the city five days a week. I carry an AR15 and four 30 round magazines, as well as all of my work stuff (papers, tablet, etc...), in a "stealth" backpack by Elite Survival Systems. It was costly at $170 but nobody has every raised any red flags and I get to sit in my office all day knowing I can take care of any situation that may arise. I walk past thousands of people each day, and walk past security to get into my building, and nobody has ever even hinted that they suspect I'm carrying some major firepower. I just wanted to let you know it's a hell of a bag if you're looking to carry a concealed AR15. I don't work for the company or anything. And before the keyboard commandos start to berate me... yes, I am well aware of the risks if I need to use it. I know I'll get fired. I know the train cops will arrest me. I know I'm up for a trial. No need to play internet attorney here! I'd rather have it... Link to bag? I'm on their site and I'm not seeing one for $170. |

Can't say I would do that, but not my ass out there. I would probably carry a pistol though with a bunch of mags to minimize size and time from realizing there is a threat to actually being able to put rounds at said threat

"...knowing I can take care of any situation that may arise."
I guess it's like what they say, when your only tool is a rifle, every problem starts to look like a range target. In the real world, though, that statement smacks of a dangerous mix of ignorance and hubris. |

Yes, now that I think of it, I should take it all back. I'm pretty worried I'll be found within the crowd of 250,000+ people who commute via train to a city with over 3 million people.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Brave or stupid ........ good luck to you. Could you make do with a handgun instead? What are the odds that you'd NOT be (almost) as adequate with a handgun vs the AR? When not at home, your priority (in a bad situation) is to GET HOME (you're not defending a homestead while traveling, nor are you EXPECTING a major firefight, NOR should you be partaking in one). In the time it would take you to deploy that rifle... you should be getting OUT of there instead (as obviously you are not in immediate threat if you have the time to assemble it). IMHO, you are kind of dreaming, and it may eventually make things WAY worse for you. Just my .02 |

Well, as the Amish are proving, firefights can start anywhere, and your priority as an ARFCOMmer should be to end it as quickly as possible before the Amish vest goes off. 
ETA: I should add, there is this psychology of "hero complex". Most rational people would prepare, but hope not to use things. Then there are those that kind of WISH/WANT to use things (at their, or others, peril). They carry things (to keep it "generic") they know are not practical, nor possibly useful for a given task, but have dreams of being the "hero" who saves the day because they did have it. It's fantasy, and one that could get one into LOTS of trouble VERY quickly. |

Ah, yes, OP wants to be a hero. Let's be clear. The likelihood of an Amish attack in your AO is very, very slim. But if they attack in your AO, and you have a weapon to hand, use it. That's what it's for, and why the militia is armed in the first place. Don't slink away. I think OP is nuts to be bragging about this in public. But I certainly understand his wish to be armed.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you. I'm talking about the OP's situation and choice of "things" (again, to be generic). I'm not talking about militia, nor homestead, nor any of that. I'm just saying a handgun would be sufficient for his needs/situation (and faster to deploy) without (assuming he can legally do so) all the other negatives.
