What is /k/'s opinion on open carrying long arms?
>>32138785
Attention whores.
They are absolutely retarded and give the rest of us a bad name. They think they are doing us all a favor and showing everyone that you shouldn't be afraid of people with guns but it is doing the exact opposite.
Also what >>32138802 said
Cringe.
>>32138785
In my opinion, in your face extremists do more to alienate and antagonize than garner support for their cause. This is true for feminists, homosexuals, pro 2A OC jerks, etc...
I've found the best way to earn respect/acceptance is to emphasize similarities with your opposition not your differences.
>>32138802
>>32138825
>>32138849
>>32138922
Pretty much this.
Plus pistols are for carrying to fall back to your longfun.
>>32138802

>>32138785
There's a time and a place for it. Walmart during peak shopping hours is neither the time nor the place.
The only reason to openly carry long arms is to protest the government. And with any protest, you don't win by fucking with and terrorizing innocent civilians. That's why everyone hates the Black Lives Matter dindus, because they throw bricks at people and block highways instead of protesting the government like they're supposed to. If you walk around the fucking Walmart with an AR at low ready, you're not protesting, you're being an asshole, and you're giving the rest of us a bad name.

>>32139740
Yeah, nah. OCing long arms on your trip to walmart in the middle of the city is pretty cringe worthy.
>>32139740
>if you don't go around autisticly terrorizing normies in public you're a fudd
Yeah, uh, you can choke on a dick there cockknuckles.
Would carrying an SBR tucked away in a backpack be too much?
Unless you're in a war zone i.e. Syria or Chicago, it is stupid and asking for trouble from cops. I'm all for pissing off libshits, but I don't feel like having a swat team called on me.
>>32139740
Nigger please, you don't know shit.
>>32139795
What would be the point? The point of carrying a rifle openly is to make a political statement (or intimidate the general public if you're a tinydick retard like >>32139740 ). The point of carrying a weapon concealed is to defend against criminals. An SBR crammed in your backpack is not ideal for defense against criminals, compared to a pistol you can keep in a holster on your belt.
the only acceptable weapon to open carry is a lightsaber
>>32139836
I can see SOME merit to the idea.
>be walking around town. No one bats an eye at your backpack.
>shooter starts gunning down people left and right.
>duck around the corner and ready pic related.
>tfw you just leveled the playing field.
>>32139836
>not having both
It's generally a bad idea. Open carrying a handgun is a much better option.
If you insist on open carrying a long arm, keep it slung on your back or in a scabbard. Seeing people patrolling their local Starbucks at the low ready position makes me nervous.
>>32139976
But that's a fantasy anon. The chances of that happening to you are like one in a billion. So you're going to carry several extra pounds of bulky rifle in your backpack *just in case* it turns out Red Dawn was a documentary?
>>32139994
If you want to burden yourself with excessive firepower you'll never use, it's your funeral. Or, rather, your chiropractor bill.
>>32138785
I think it hurts everyone on both sides. For gun owners it makes us look like trigger happy dumbasses and confrontational. Cops and people minding their day don't appreciate added stress. Open carry adds ammunition to the gun control folks who want nothing more than to make us all look like a menace to society and the world.
>>32139797
Have any more of those images from that thread?
Long Gun oc types are generally seen as snowflakes by my department. pPlus we have transport Rules to/from shooting events only for long guns. We won't swat you but you will have multiple officers pointing full gigity Colts at you if cause a call for service/breach of the peace.
Plus you don't want you rifle sitting in evidence lock up for months on end.

>But that's a fantasy anon
Bitch, don't take my dreams away from me!
>>32139976
>now everyone will think you're the shooter or possibly an accomplice
>The cops might try to gun you down once they show up
>some other wannabe hero with a ccw might try to gun you down
>even if you stop the shooter and don't get gunned down, now you have to convince the whole world that 1.) you were not a conspirator in the shooting and 2.) you have a believable explanation as to why you coincidentally happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time with a loaded semi-auto rifle
>>32140138
This lol. A pistol is justifiable to the cops for self defense. An SBR is going to raise questions. Don't walk around with concealed NFA items is a good rule of thumb in general.
dont pussyfoot around with it if you ask me
>going hunting
yes
>during times of high crime or civil unrest
yes
>full on black panther "we are armed and ready to fight"
yes
>at a protest "look we got gunz muh oc muh freedoms"
no
>at walmart because you are an activist
no
>at walmart because you dont give a fuck
yes
>at walmart because you had your gun for some legitimate reason and can't leave it in the car/truck cuz you only do coupes
yes
>in a rural town where nobody gives a fuck, especially if you travel by foot
yes
>walking dogs/hiking in rural area
yes
>>32138922
>This is true for feminists, homosexuals,
Yeah, except they keep winning that way.
>>32140188
What's wrong with the homosexuals winning, Phil "I Beat It To Shotas" Ossiferz Stone? I mean, don't you want to advance the interests of your own people?
If you're doing it for attention or to prove a point you're a fucking retard and I hope some confrontation to INFRINGE fucks up your day.
If you're hiking in some secluded area with bears and shit, or you're out in bumfuckistan and just passing through the only store in 15 miles then I guess that's fine.
>>32138785
I don't care how other people exercise their rights. I open carry a pistol. You faggots are seriously going, "well, I like my rights but!"
You're no better than faggot gun grabbers. Off yourselves.
>>32138785
more guns the better.
>>32140331
There's a vast difference between OC of a pistol and the retarded faggots who are trying to be edgy by walking into starbucks with an AR strapped to their back hoping that someone will confront them so they can go post about it on their forum after.
>>32140366
Once again, I don't care how people exercise their rights.
>>32140043
this is awesome

>mfw you won't care if furries starts protesting in front of your house because they're exercising their rights
>>32140345
>Vanilla M16a3's
Bloody disgusting
>>32140413
I don't know why they'd do that, personally. I mean, there's a noise ordinance and all that, so it wouldn't really affect me.
SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED
>>32140382
>>32140331
>"I don't care how other people exercise their rights"
>berate others for practicing their right to free speech
>>32140431
This isn't hard to grasp. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Sure, you have a right to carry a long gun openly on public property and on property where the owner allows it, but you also have the right to drink radiator fluid, snort gunpowder and drop cinderblocks on your balls, doesn't mean you should do it.
>>32140428
They're protesting the fact that you're hogging all the faggotry to yourself.
>>32138849
Doesn't that count as brandishing?
>>32140449
Except he's not berating them on how they did it, just what they said. It's like criticizing someone who open carries for being a retard while doing it
