yeah i dont think my wife will fly with that

with a handgun

Shotgun?

Most gun ranges you can find are indoors and may not allow rifles, I think is what "take it places" means

I'm pretty sure that's the Garand "everyone else" has anyway

Take places is concealed carry

i assumed you meant CCW

Which means I can buy it here in leafland, where it is explicitly allowed, by name

That too

@Clive then I recommend an affordable AR option

If you can conceal carry a AR you have more talent than I

**A**ssault **R**ifle

S&W or PSA are both $450-550 new

Armalite

15 bullets per sec?

It's fairly easy to convert a garand to 308, just a barrel swap and optionally a clip spacer so you don't accidentally load the normal ammo

wait

hold on

?

is this correct: The AR-15 was never a military weapon, it has only ever been a civilian weapon? ergo its not a weapon of war and never has been?

eh

if you're talking a colt AR circa 1970s, yes

I want a Springfield Saint

It was designed for the military I think, but they sold it to Colt and they changed it for the final M16

^^^

the AR 10 was deveoloped by Eugene Stoner for the military, chambered in 308. They just remade it to fire the 5.56 NATO round

so the m16/m4 is adapted from the civilian model of the AR10

AR 10=5 AR safer!

Not!

But colloquially we use that term to describe any modern rifle that is parts-compatible with the original design

Amen

technically assault rifle is a military designation

granted an 'assault rifle' if we're using the military designation has a fun switch

meaning full auto

Under some the of the current rhetoric my G19 is an “assault weapon”

meaning technically speaking the manufacture of 'assault rifle' has been banned since 1986

Holds more than 10 rounds

Look into echo triggers
