[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2773901, member: 1132"] Here's my take on the rifle. Is it better to have? Absolutely. It gives you options. Is it the best idea to deploy it? In most cases, no. You're not walking around with it on, so accessing it is going to take time. Time probably best spent unassing the area and calling in reinforcements. If you're caught where you need to engage the shooter, it's going to be on demand and right then. How far away is that rifle in the trunk likely to be? By the time you access it, is it likely that 1st responders will see you instead of the active shooter, placing you at greater risk from responders than the shooter? These are things to consider. One caveat is those who frequent remote areas. A 1st responder may be 40 minutes away instead of 4. I'd definitely be adding a rifle to the kit under those circumstances, as the range to the shooter might be longer as well. [/QUOTE]
