re: Open carrying a machine gun

If you want a weapon on you just conceal carry. Even if you want an AR for protection you have to worry about penetration thru walls and hitting other people and shite. Pistol rounds generally stop when they hit mass. Carrying an AR around (while I do think it is and should be legal) makes people uneasy and generally 99% of people don't know the laws and get freaked out and call the cops. Your just asking for trouble. I conceal carry everywhere I go with 2 extra mags and no one ever knows.

If you say so.

You would be surprised how many certified instructors (like myself) take someone less seriously who uses the wrong nomenclature (aka "assault rifle" or the dreaded "clip").
"Ain't" used to not be a word. Sign of a "living language" is new words. Ours is alive and well.

And by repeating that exact set of words, the ignorance spreads like cancer.
That's why I'm so quick to correct. If the correct information gets out, it prevents the spread of bad information.
Then again, the media is spreading bad info at a much faster rate than I am. Hopefully I can try to do as much possible education of the right nomenclature in my classes. We'll see...
EDIT: I don't like correcting others but I feel when it comes to gun rights it's important. I try not be grammar police when it irritates me because I know how much it infuriates others.
I can tell you from my own personal experience that when I only knew of hunting rifles, I saw the AR as an "assault" rifle. But as time has gone on, I know how much more deadly a 308 deer rifle is than an AR15. So by changing my saying "assault" rifle, I make the AR seem much less "evil." Maybe not relevant, just food for thought...

So you're getting off easy.

How about "Modern Sporting Rifle"?
Anyways, I'm certainly big in the "exercising rights or they'll get walked on" side, but these guys are just asking for it.

I agree.
I respect a regular calm open carrier. But I hate when citizens do it to bait police officers. I understand they should be familiar with gun laws, but it just causes a big unnecessary scene.

You arent nearly the only one. And as a former member of the armed services you should have also learned the difference between an actual assault rifle and the common sporting rifle. People running around calling modern sporting rifles assault rifles is half the damn problem. This costs us all money as we have to pay the NRA money to combat political and media hysteria over linguistics.

That.
"Assault Rifle" was chosen to describe modern sporting rifles because it confuses the ignorant into believing these are military full auto rifles. Thus it's 'reasonable' to the layman to think that you shouldn't have one.
Don't comply with that shite. Point out the difference because they need to be educated. Assault rifle keeps them ignorant and pliable.

I get where he's coming from too, but I also couldn't give less of a damn.
I call ammo feeding devices clips and self-loading weapons automatic. Come at me assault lifers.

I wish everyone that did this would be charged with terrorizing or at least disturbing the peace.Walking around with a sport, assault, high capacity clipped, black scary gun and alarming a bunch of people to the point hat they feel the need to alert police is fricking retarded.

I also know the difference between a latrine and a bathroom but I've never told my wife I was gonna ease off to the latrine to pinch one off.
