[QUOTE="Lhecker51, post: 3737968, member: 48719"] That is not my intent. I should have prefaced my comment with the situation. Regarding police patrolling at a huge event with AR's slung on their chest, I was comparing their mode of carry for their specific mission and that of a citizen during a threat situation that warrants it, such as the threat of riots and looters. I think it's absolute idiocy to bring attention to one's self when it's not needed. I too am a combat vet and I should have been more clear regarding all actions being driven by the situation and risk of threat. When the situation is dire, such as during a riot or threats of looting and destruction, police would fully expect folks will take rational action to defend themselves and property. We have all seen those that are all tacticool with no place to go. I believe in the gray man concept and always practiced that philosophy. For me, guns are critical tools. Just because one has the right to carry an AR, it makes no sense to alarm the general public if the threat is just not there. I personally disagree with the supposed "Constitution Auditors" That go out carrying their AR in a public area with the purpose of supposedly auditing police response and video taping it. They have the right to do it, but they are unduly alarming the public with their uncalled for antics. I lived in Seattle and we had to patrol our neighborhood due to ANTIFA rioting that extended to the suburbs after they got done destroying the city, our neighborhood was targeted and so were neighborhoods just north of Seattle. We blocked the road coming in and were armed. ANTIFA turned back around and left. That's a situation where you don't want laws interfering with your rational mode of carry. I can tell you that at the time, not even Seattle had laws against what is being proposed here in Oklahoma regarding this particular mode of long gun carry and I am alarmed that it is even being considered.
