Meh doesn't seem that serious to own an AR for fun/sport, I've shot my dads before. Isn't there a state or states that allow you to actually open carry one? That is insane lol. I could not think of one single legit reason to walk around with an AR-15 and I don't think they can either. You see those vids or stories of people walking around with them just because they can and it blows my mind. How in the world did that ever become legal is beyond me. Those states are a joke.
we had some discussion on that law just the other day..
and apparently I was wrong.. it IS legal in MI to open carry a long gun (shotgun, hunting rifle, AR, AK, SKS .. whatever)
here is where it gets sticky...
lets say I'm hunting with my .30-06, or my AR15 (long rifle).. if I get near a roadway, I have to unload it.. then I can cross the road.. and then reload it...
but the "open carry law" says it's ok to just carry it loaded..
just another illustration of laws contradicting each other..
that's just what this country needs.. more laws contradicting each other
I say we just make it illegal to use a firearm in the commission of a crime
that way, people who don't commit crimes don't have to worry about what is illegal or not
and that still doesn't change my mind.. if you are carrying any firearm in the open.. legal or not..
you are most likely seeking attention ... or trying to make a statement or a point about something
unless.. of course.. you are just tracking your wounded animal, or moving from one hunting spot to another.
or a security guard or Law officer
