Short Barrel non NFA the new norm

Like I said, some guys would have longer barrel guns broken down to easy storage. I got a short 10.5 because it fits nicely in a plain backpack when it's broken down. I hope I never get a chance to use it but it's there and I don't always carry it with me. If I'm making a quick run to the store, get gas, etc, I have my EDC. This is for long trips and to work.

People get stuff stolen from their car because they don't secure it or their car, park their cars in bad neighborhoods, etc. It costed me a combine total of 600 to build my shorty and a 3rd of the cost was the expensive brace. My company doesn't have a parking garage so I literally pack in front of the building to the entrance and I work in a warehouse/industrial kind of town with not a lot of residential areas. I know crime can happen anywhere, but it's something I factored it. When I go home, I take my back of gun with me. Idiots leave their guns in their cars when they are at home and that's how they get stolen.


Realistically I don't need to justify why I have a bigger gun to anyone. It's my personal preference. Some guys have an extra handgun in their car, some have shotguns or rifles. I have an AR.

WRONG, it can happen anywhere; my mother had a Speed Six stolen out of her locked car, on our street, in one of the safest cities in Texas, and gun was hidden from view

So you mean the gun was in the car at home? Which goes to my point. Don't leave stuff in your car when you're at home. I lost an IPOD once because my dad drove my car and didn't lock the door

Is now the right time to bring up the saga of the ATF and the dreaded 14" assault shoelace?

Everyone with a pair of shoes with laces 14" or longer should be required to register them. Won't someone think of the children?!

Australia confiscated their shoelaces, and they haven't had any problems since.

But they do have a serious arson problem

Ain't nobody got time for that. Alternately, the average dude will probably stop bothering toting the gun back and forth after a while


Anyways, I wonder how well a H&R Pardner Pump or IAC Hawk would fare sitting in a trunk year-round

That's the problem, the average people don't "tot" guns anyway. They'd rather over rely on the police and then protest when they don't do their jobs correctly.

I'm not saying this lifestyle is for everybody. It's already a life style commitment if you want to carry a gun all the time. To me, my EDC is a part of me as are my wallet and keys when I leave the house. For specific trips, not all trips, I pick up my bag with extra stuff in it and double check the first aid kit in my trunk
