I guess I’m building an AR pistol. It will technically be my SUV gun. Also, I’m impressed by the speed of NAS3 out of short barrels (starts at the 6 minute mark) I hate living in interesting times.

    Yeah, it’s good to take a reality check every once and a while.

    The chances of anyone needing to use any gun are practically zero, even with shit as crazy as it is.

    A “bag gun” or truck gun is really only something you’d need if society has broken down to the point you being attacked for who you are or what you have is likely, but openly carrying a rifle would just make you a target for that rifle. Which is a very narrow window as fast as things collapse historically. Like, you could argue it’s a way to defend against a mass shooter at a protest, but a handful of people openly carrying rifles would likely prevent it from even happening in the first place because that’s also a visible deterrent.

    Like, shits cool, and shooting guns is literally addicting. But a truck/bag gun is an idea you start using to justify purchases once you already have a solid rifle, CCW, plate carrier, and full size pistol.

    Nothing wrong with it, but reality checks are important, especially when people get too used to it and just leave guns laying around like Easter Eggs for anyone to find.
