9.5 road trip. Would you bring a rifle?

[kingsix]

Yeah, that's fair. I think it's a little much to carry an AR to the beach, so I'm a liberal? I'm not too concerned about rogue biker gangs I guess.

Rogue biker gangs ? I'm more worried about the packs of wild dogs , that have taken control of most of our inner cities ...

I want to hear more stories about guys using their pistol to fight their way back to their rifle. Now that's ballin'. I love those!

How much for just pics in the speedo?

 

[protective measures]

While I have no illusion about "fighting my way back to my rifle" in most civilian contexts I do make it a point to have it, as well as other assorted defensive & survival items, including a 12 ga., with me in the trunk of my vehicle.

We do not have the luxury of picking the time, place, or manner in which we may need protection so I choose to have options that give me flexibility and firepower in the unlikely event it is needed.
I keep a spare tire, tools, & all kinds of other emer. gear in there as well.

It interests me when people say to leave it at home because it might get stolen.
If my weapon is locked out of sight in my trunk I feel I have made a reasonable effort to protect it.
With that logic I shouldn't even have any guns at home as thieves might break in & steal them.
I do believe & encourage people to safeguard their firearms.
I do however believe that each person has to be rational about choosing a compromise that fits their circumstances.

Has anyone ever shot a coconut with a 5.56 round?

My SBR goes EVERYWHERE with me. Especially on road trips. You never know what you're going to run into these days, especially that far from home. Rather have and not need then not have and need.

What bag is that? Will an m4 fit in it?

I always have a pistol that I have on my person, but an AR? I don't put that IWB. Something to get stolen or lost. Leave it.
