under 21 open carry of a long gun (on foot)

[SSCUSTER]

yeah but they were in uniform.

No, they were in civilian clothes so that they did not break starch while driving several hours to the funeral.

What would happen if there was a more than one person carrying rifle or shotgun in public? Say a group of people OCing rifles and shotguns? Its been done with pistols.

My bet is words can't describe what would happen.

I know personally, if I saw a dude with an ak in public i would watch him very closely. With all the assholes going to public places and blowing people away The first thing I would think is "is this a threat?" "is this a guy i might have to take out?" While it may be legal, it looks shady as hell, and really does the oposite of what we're trying to achieve.

This really sums it up and can't be said any better.

Just because you can do something, it doesn't mean that it's in your best interest to do it. I'll admit when I was younger I probably would have thought it was cool to walk around carrying the ol' AK. Then I turned into my dad. This is not a post to bash OC (handgun) guys whatsoever, just for the record. I would almost guarantee, if you walk in an urban area with a so called "assault rifle", police will be on you like white on rice. Being shot by an over zealous officer for making a "wrong move" isn't worth proving a point.

what is "lawful purpose" what is "Lawfull activity" if my 16yr old daughter is carrying her rifle .22 and i am supervising her....and we are involved in a "march" is this a "lawful purpose" ,"Lawful activity" (1a and 2a rights??)

[BimmerJon]

"Lawful activity" unfortunately is subjective and opinion.
Same ambiguity applies for carry in a school

[chrisjp]

unloaded and "safely carrying a rifle in crowds"? as safety training?
