Most of us stopped putting them on display for thieves, however.<br />That large-caliber pistol I tote IS handier than a rifle, but I'd still druther have a long gun with me when things are scary.<br />We probably need to be OC'ing rifles more often...Boat Guynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-75594791717509109912010-07-06T23:10:24.336-04:002010-07-06T23:10:24.336-04:00Need pistol all the time.

Today, they have to be hidden, ammo separate,going to the range,etc. Yet the idea of having a rifle near me when I leave home is a comforting feeling. Doesn't have to be TEOTWAWKI to have a long gun handy. Remember the Korean shopkeepers during the Rodney King riots? The neighborhood watches set up on the Gulf Coast after Katrina?

It's certainly not an event in Switzerland for people to carry rifles openly.<br />There were a number of "out of uniform" people known to me toting rifles in defense of their homes during Katrina. <br />Just as with open-carry of handguns, the problem is really one of perception. What about the young man exercising his liberties in Phoenix? The one the MSM was having the vapors about? The one whose skin color was obscured in order to prove "rascist" opposition to ObaMao? <br />I will say I prefer to "open carry" an M1 rather than an M4 but it still makes the point; we need to "desensitize" people to the sight of a legally-carried long-arm. It's true that if I really wanted to be "out there" the M4 would be the better (and LIGHTER) option.Boat Guynoreply@blogger.com
