Just because that's the only reason you can fathom for carrying one, doesn't mean that's why every one else would carry one.Carrying a long gun in public is only done for one reason, to get a rise out of those around you, including LEOs.
You mean like admitting on the internet that you judge people you don't even know and make up stuff about them?I personally hate people like "your friend" Just because you "CAN" do something, doesn't mean you should.
What reason would LEO have to be angry?When they told you that "They were all pro-2A", they probably are, and were just pissed that you guys pulled a stunt like that.
What vehicle should I drive to it?You aren't going to a rally, save the long guns for a rally, you're going to a damn Mcdonalds. OC is awsome in my book, you guys should always OC if it is your method of carry.
You're okay with a LEO over-reacting because he finds the actions of someone with whom he has to interact objectionable?Did these cops over react? Without a doubt. Did they do it because they were pissed at someone OCing a long gun? Probably.
You can't guarantee anything.Had you all been ONLY OCing pistols, and the cops showed up. I garentee that this particular incident wouldn't have happened.
No Larry is required to carrying a long gun.I have a question though. Does the individual carrying the rifle have a LTCH? Or is that the reason he WAS carrying a rifle, because he DOESN'T have a LTCH? This would make sense to me. Friend doesn't have a LTCH, and wants to fit in with his OCing friends, so he grabs his AR15 to take to a fast food joint
