[QUOTE="Ethan N, post: 3235687, member: 29267"] So maybe we could say one of the responsibilities that might be on the list is “Don’t draw attention to your weapon for any purpose other than defense.” Sounds good to me. I’m not saying this is why this guy was carrying an AR, but for the sake of discussion, what if someone has a medical condition or disability that makes using an actual pistol (not an AR or AK “pistol”) safely and effectively difficult/impossible, but they can handle a rifle adequately? Should they just not carry? Should they carry a pistol anyway, even though it’s potentially an ineffective or even dangerous option for them? Should they be encouraged to choose the weapon that suits their physical capabilities, even if it’s something we wouldn’t normally advise someone to carry? Questions posed to everyone, not just [USER=5412]@dennishoddy[/USER]. I think much of the time the gun community doesn’t put much consideration into varying physical capabilities and forms when talking about weapon choices, and I’m curious to hear what people think about hypothetical outliers. It’s not hard to imagine that someone with carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis may be able to handle a rifle but not a pistol and it seems to me they have all the more need for an equalizer in a fight.
