What jurisdiction can you carry (open or concealed) an sbr? I thought it was against the law federally? In Florida concealed carry pistol only and no rifle carry, let alone an sbr. Rifle has to "be contained". I guess that means in the trunk or in a rifle bag. You can open carry a pistol while traveling to and from and while fishing, hunting and target shooting. I know some states that allow open carry of long arms but know of none that allow sbrs for open carry.
SBR's are still a rifle. They aren't some weird mythical thing that completely removes your rights to use them. Pennsylvania is a constitutional open carry state for all legal arms. Further, Pennsylvania defines "Firearm" as the following: Title 27 CFR Chapter II Part 479 Firearm. (a) A shotgun having a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length; (b) a weapon made from a shotgun if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length; (c) a rifle having a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length; (d) a weapon made from a rifle if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length; (e) any other weapon, as defined in this subpart; (f) a machine gun; (g) a muffler or a silencer for any firearm whether or not such firearm is included within this definition; and (h) a destructive device. PA Title 18 Chapter 61 (Uniform Firearms Act) Section 6102 Definitions "Firearm." Any pistol or revolver with a barrel length less than 15 inches, any shotgun with a barrel length less than 18 inches or any rifle with a barrel length less than 16 inches, or any pistol, revolver, rifle or shotgun with an overall length of less than 26 inches. The barrel length of a firearm shall be determined by measuring from the muzzle of the barrel to the face of the closed action, bolt or cylinder, whichever is applicable. In Pennsylvania we have a "license to carry firearms". Therefore your license covers arms that fall under the definition of "firearm" in the uniform firearms act. "Any rifle with a barrel length less than 16 inches". Read that carefully. Understand your human rights, understand mans law, and determine where you stand within those. Hope that helps.
@TATargets do you not need a permit in Pennsylvania to conceal carry? Or am I wrong. Ask as a new firearm owner seeking information. Have very similar mindset as spoken about in this video. Ps. Is there a video you have of what all you pack in the bag such as medical etc besides the rifle?
Why are you asking a gun extremist target company for legal advice on carrying arms? Anything these chodes say should be run by a lawyer who actually knows the law and interprets it correctly that will hold up in court. Otherwise, you’re just running a risk that honestly is not worth running.
@@craigbockbrader1872 oh, force you personally feel is needed huh? Like I said earlier, good luck justifying that in court. Your sentiment is similar to how Daniel Perry felt and he got life in prison for manslaughter. He certainly didn’t think it was manslaughter but a jury of his peers and the judge of the court felt he committed manslaughter. So good luck with that kid.
We had a guy in Phoenix AZ who had his AR in his car and saw a cop being attacked by a bad guy he shot the bad guy before he could kill the cop. People who say don’t carry a rifle are the same guys who are always talking about boating accidents and gay shit like that.
I concur, just one note on the syntax, an AR is not a rifle, it's a carbine, that's where the media gets it wrong because we miss-type or say the nomenclature.
@@mitch511 bro every day that passes, millions of people are trying to take our guns and label us as scum. Poking fun and being devisive in our own community is really not helping. The other side is unified man, clearly we're not. just think about it and chill a bit
Former Chicagoan - first comment was bullshit. You're not getting a bag snatched off your back. If your setting your bag down, you deserve to get it taken. That being said, a bag gun is not a replacement for a concealed carry pistol. If you get mugged or jumped, the bag gun isn't gonna help you. But either way, it's no reason to be a prey animal.
People can't hate what they're not aware of, if you know what I mean. I try to stay as gray as possible while staying prepared for anything. Self defense is a human right!
The very first comment the word “vigilante” is used wrong. A vigilante is someone that actively seeks to take the law into his own hands. Not someone who happens to be in the wrong place at the right time
i never considered daily carrying a rifle and honestly don’t think i ever will but you brought up a lot of solid points more importantly i believe in the right to conceal carry a rifle
I have a Scorpion pistol in a backpack, same backpack I had carried a laptop in for a year or two. I usually carry it to and from my truck and don't carry it every where but it comforting that I have it, and it's invisible to anyone
I think the type of rifle he carries is a bit extreme for the role. Ideally what he is filling is the role of the PDW. I don't think a rifle fills that role the best because it's a massive inconvenience. I think this is where PDWs come into play. Small pistol caliber firearms that are the next step up from a pistol that give you that extra force multiplier without being a major inconvenience. Certainly a requirement for my bag gun is that it doesn't cause my bag to become a gun bag. I want it to do all the other stuff a bag does as well and covertly carrying a bit extra firepower. Flux, TP9, MPX, APC9K are all options you can't go wrong with. I'd really like an even smaller offering but right now there's not many good options on the market right now that fit the civilian PDW role. I recommend you watch Brass Facts video on the different types of societal collapse and his PDW series since they're both very relevant to this topic.
With everything going on in the country right now, i have started carrying one in my truck anytime i go out. You just never know what to expect these days. Great videos!
As a father who would do anything to protect my family & my community I have to say your content about rifle carry is definitely informative & eye opening. Keep it up & thank you 👍🏽
I was a cop for 5 years. You are 100% on point with cops. Some of the worst skill levels I've ever seen with guns are other cops. Most can't shoot for sh!t.
I put the pushback from backpack rifles in the same bucket as I place the “I dOnT oPeN cArRy” comments… in the trash. There’s only one way to change the culture, and that’s by more people open carrying and having rifles in bags. Generally speaking, having a rifle in a bag is a great idea, just like having a rifle in your car, and having a pistol on your hip. I literally grew up in the hood, not just some observer. And now I live in a rural area. I will always carry both a pistol on my hip and a rifle in my bag or in my car next to me. Imagine being the guy who COULDNT stop the threat when called upon because you chose to not want to. I love your points on felons as well! Carry your arms fellas!
Open carrying is stupid asf. “Hey criminals, shoot or rob me first, I’m obviously the biggest threat in the room and have the most valuable thing for you to steal right here”
@@mattmurphy7030you miss the entire point of his statement. Make it common place. Generally cops aren't targeted anymore than armed civies. Your point is not very relevant.
If 1 has served their time then they no longer a felon and gave a clean slate. Your perspective on this is correct. You have a human right to defend your life and the lives of your loved ones.
@@mattmurphy7030 that literally doesn’t happen. I swear y’all parrot the same talking points without considering the fact that there’s little if any real world examples of people being targeted first because they are openly carrying. Not to mention the fact that you missed the entire point of my comment. This is exactly why I don’t take people who carry your sentiment seriously. Y’all all say the same shit but it literally never happens. But PLENTY of people have been killed from either drawing from the drop or not being able to get to their concealed weapon. But sure… keep pushing the same unproven narrative because it makes you feel superior.
Started with AR pistol in a backpack back in 2007. Levels the playing field a bit. It's about options. If I can employ it, great. If not, it wasn't meant to be. Buffer tube stuck out but was wrapped and made the whole thing look like a tennis racket. Three weeks in church before anyone noticed. Customer of mine saw it, wrapped his tube with Wilson. He has a funny story of him and his tennis racket. This is way before braces and folders.
I like the guy who took a Sig 556 pistol. Had it registered as a SBR. Put a Sig side folding stock on it. Then modified a courier bag as his carry bag. You would never think that he has a SBR Sig 556 in that bag.
Don't allow someone from the hood, in a city where the cowardly population voted to be disarmed, give you edc advice about something they have no first hand knowledge. Especially because they placed their politics over their own personal safety.
Don't lump whole states or cities into a group just to hate on. We have enough division without dividing ourselves. Here in OR, one city damn near shut down the rights of a whole state. We started buying guns, ammo, and mags in record numbers, fought the shit out of 114, and won. There's still Patriots stuck in those cities without the fiscal means to get out. It's so easy to say, "just move," or, "you voted for it," when you aren't living in a shit city with no good jobs, scraping by paycheck to paycheck, while actively voting AGAINST all this crap, but completely outnumbered.
i agree with everything you said 100% Article 1, Section 21. “The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.”
Concealed rifle carry doesn't make sense for me, but I'm all for people who are legally able to carry to do so in whatever ways they are able. The only thing I ask of my fellow self defender is that they train their @$$ off with their chosen carry weapon.
Where I live, especially this time of year (deer season), It’s a safe bet that there’s a rifle in every fifth pickup truck. It may be a Marlin lever gun rather than an AR, but it’ll work. I’ve done a lot of training with a guy who was the undersheriff of that (very rural, agricultural) county and who ran their SWAT/Warrant Squad, and he relayed that in training scenarios like an active shooter at the local high school, it was always emphasized that: “Every girl at that school has both a cellphone and a dad nearby with a rifle in his truck. When she’s scared she’s more likely to call him first and us second. Don’t assume that anyone on scene with a rifle is the threat.”
Hey guys, been watching your content for a while. Just wanted to tell you to continue the great work and advocating for greater personal responsibility. Much of what you talk about is what I cover in my classes, and I will be covering bag guns in upcoming training.
The world isn't split into Good or Evil, in my experience. There are a LOT of Neutral people, people who aren't looking to take from others or harm others, but aren't exactly altruistic either. Most folks fall into the neutral camp. They just wanna survive and preserve what's theirs. Also, not all good people want to carry the burden of being armed, and deal with the potential repercussions that can come from it. Being willing to carry a gun, and using it to defend others regardless of the consequences is a rare and admirable trait.
The liability to asset ratio will always be too high for the average person whose profession doesn't require a bag rifle. Better to enhance pistol skills and learn some tactics. There are few threats that a civilian will face that cannot be resolved with the skilled application of a high quality pistol.
Good video. I think what you do shows examples of what you can do. Obviously everyone has to decide what situation they are in. This video is spot on and inline with good information. We are somewhat from the same area so I can agree with a lot of your content.
You earned my subscribe with your position on Felons. To be clear, I've had 3 speeding tickets in my life, more than 20 years ago, I'm about as squeaky clean as an adult can get today. I love taking on the "Unpopular Opinion" threads, opening with "I believe that if you have served your time, and stay out of trouble for say 1,2,or3 years (open for debate), you get your rights back by keeping your nose clean." Monsters, and we know they exist, they're the reason we carry, belong locked away from the public because they pose a threat still. As you said, if they want a gun, they're going to get a gun. Denying someone the ability to protect themselves from the same level of threat they may face walking down the road is not ok. Why do police get special treatment when it comes to firearms? The general public is exposed to the same level of threats walking down the road as officers on patrol are, and the general public is more likely to be targeted for criminal victimization than a uniformed officer is. TL:DR Done your time? Nose clean? Carry on. Monsters belong behind bars.
For real. I'm so confused by people that care enough to get upset over what guns other people buy, carry, or own. Carry what you're trained with that you trust.
Love the recent videos. I've been considering a backpack pistol and your videos convinced me to start the build NOW. I can't really question your methods (I'm sure you have your reasons), but I do have to admit, when you were on the range, I was a little surprised to see your blue mag was a live mag. For me, I just wouldn't be comfortable having a "live" blue mag since blue is the universal color for training hardware. Keep the awesome videos coming brother. Stay safe, stay armed. 😎👉
There are some pretty powerful air pews available these days that are unrestricted, concealable, AND will easily put someone all the way asleep. Just incase some of my restricted brothers out there might be looking for legal options. 🙂
If you’re in an area that restricts you from carrying a gun, you will still catch every single charge possible not specifically named “…firearm…” Just carry a real gun. Why risk your own safety to follow a tyrant’s rules? Just be smart about it
I have always wanted a backpack rifle setup since before you guys made it cool lol. At first just for a practical easy range bag type thing. After doing that I liked the idea of carrying a rifle in a bag and, Ive taken my 12.5 ar separated in a gym bag with me on vacation and now that I got a law folder on Black Friday I’m looking for a new backpack so I can edc the 12.5 with law folder. It sticks out just an inch above my current backpack so now Im looking for a new one. I’m glad you guys are talking about bag rifle setups and carrying them. It shouldn’t be a fringe or extreme thing, it should be a thing of responsibility and preparedness. It was always on my mind before you guys made the videos but I agree with everything y’all have talked about. But I guess rifle edc is so based and 2A enlightened the boomer mind can’t comprehend it
I've got a 12.5" AR as well, no LAW folder on it just a carbine buffer tube. With no muzzle device or a short muzzle device it'll fit just fine. It looks pretty goofy, I won't lie, and there isn't any room for anything else in the main pocket with the gun save for maybe a change of clothes, but it works well. Find out what your shortest overall length is, then look for backpacks that are an inch longer than that, that's what I did to find mine.
@@keegenke yessir that’s what I’m doing. Flash hider is staying on tho since I bought my first suppressor recently and I’m gonna need the flash hider for attachment. I can actually carry my 10.5 AK if I take off the muzzle device (it’s a big fat flash can) but it’s very bulky and heavy I’d prefer to carry the 12.5 or actually when I get a new bag I might be able to comfortably carry the AK too but I’d prefer the ar. My backpack now is an old North Face bag the 12.5 just sticks out an inch over it. So now I’m looking at backpacks with around a 20” height/length. Which is like the very limit of every day backpacks… most of the bags I’m seeing are hiking packs and travel bags but theres a few good casual looking bags that won’t draw too much attention and look like they have a lot of space. So now I’m trying to decide on one and still weighing my options lol.
I had spent an inordinate amount of time looking before I found a bag for my AR pistol 300 blackout with a 10.5" barrel and a LAW Tactical folding stock. I ended up getting a picket ball sling bag. There are several things I like about this bag over and obove the obvious I can swing it around in front of me so even if I'm not sure I'm going to need it and I can have my hand on the grip, ready to drop the bag ready to go and no one would yet be the wiser. Another aspect I like is that I put a chest plate in the back of the bag and it fits rather well. Last but not least is there is enough room in a front pocket for my tablet, bible, a few other things. I am on my church security team and when I first started bringing the AR to church I asked that for the first month that only the senior pastor and the head of the security team knew I had anything other tablet books a few water bottles, etc.. Not a single member of the church had given the bag more than a passing glance. Even the security team didn’t have a clue. Afterwards the entire team started paying much closer attention to anyone we didn't know with a larger sized bag. Unfortunately those that plan evil can also do the same thing. I didn't know you had this type of content. If you have a suggestion of what videos to prioritize I would appreciate it if you could share that.
Funny you mentioned training about police officers. I can tell you from experience (as instructor) that you are spot on about police are not as trained as you might think. I could write a book on those that not only should not be cops, but definitely should not be carrying any type of firearm. Scary I know….Just agreeing with you.
I carry an MP5K (semi-auto clone) in a backpack. It stays in my car unless I know the backpack will either be on my body or within arms reach. Very bad idea to put the backpack out of reach in public, no matter how low the risk might appear. And I know someone will say the car can get broken into, etc. and yes it can, but I make sure to park in areas where the risk of my car being broken into is as limited as possible
Good hack is to get a snowshoe backpack. I carry my 18" AR-10 broken down in a snowshoe backpack and people think its either a skateboard or snowshoes depending on the season. make sure to make some sort of foam insert to keep your rifle from getting beat to hell.
Hate? Given the state of current events, I've been STRONGLY considering a backpack carry of sorts. Nothing dumb or stupid about this at all, better safe than sorry 💯
On your last point, Adam from Spiritus launched a video recently going over an entire "gear bag" that carries all of it when needed. Should be a good primer for people that need to consider how to bug out
@TA Targets-- Changing hearts and minds is a difficult thing. The US Government has had "we the people" snowed for decades now. *Keep up the good work!* 😏👍
@TA Targets I also regardless carry a firearm. I edc a p365xl with a tlr-7sub in a trex arms appendix rig. With that being said I carry a FM-15 Gen2 9” 556/223 pistol with a Midwest industries side folder in a smallish bag. I picked that rifle specifically so that I could carry a higher caliber weapon JUST IN CASE.
Im looking at picking up a honey badger pistol with a "pistol brace." Would it be legal for me to carry with my CCW? I believe my state considers anything with less than a 12 inch barrel a handgun / pistol, I just don't wanna get a BS charge if I ever got caught.
Everyone has a different situation. I believe it’s up to each individual to take their own safety/security measures and do what they think is best for them. There is no ‘one size fits all’. I had a drill sergeant many years ago say the maximum effective range of an excuse is zero meters. We all need to be more proactive and stop making excuses. Thanks Jared
I think “we” make too big a deal about OD Green, FDE etc, because we know they are tactical colors and think we know what to look out for. The average Mom or Dad at Walmart isn’t gonna think, “ oh he has multi cam on, I bet he has a gun on him”. Most people are so wrapped up in themselves and what they are doing, they are hardly paying you any mind
maybe i missed it, but when did you address the arguement that pistols and their cartridges are unmatched in concealment and portability. because thats what keeps me from adopting this or any other form of ridiculous off body carry.
Personal interpretation is that this is not a replacement for a concealed carry hand-gun. An off body weaon is for intermediate-threat areas where deployment speed is not the issue, having a transportable 'heavier' weapon is the goal. Even though the gun is compact enough to bag, leagally it's still a long gun and can't be carried within a passenger space accessible to a driver. Nonetheless, this is a product with appeal. Not sure I'd want a complete gun, but may want the upper if available and compatible with an AR Mil-Spec lower.
My only problem with most people's bag guns is how ballistically ineffective they are at the end of the day. If a rifle projectile travels slower than 2500fps, it will not reliably achieve rifle wounding characteristics on its target. There are rare exceptions to this rule like M855 which is stable to a fault causing ice picking if bone isn't struck, or 45-70 which is essentially just a 12ga slug and has enough mass to occasionally overcome organic elasticity, but the vast majority of the time, you're handicapping yourself with low velocity rounds. I genuinely think that your bag gun should be a perfect pair with your EDC. Essentially just throwing a third point of contact on your handgun to make it easier to make low percentage shots and faster follow up shots. Rifle calibers sit comfortably in three defensive niches. Civil defense, home defense, and WROL get home defense. So two of those guns (a fighting rifle/carbine, and a truck rifle/carbine) should be 14.5 or longer in 5.56, and one of them can be chopped down to 10.3 in 5.56 with a can being practically necessary. Why carry two ammo types and magazines when you can carry one caliber, one mag style, and be capable of putting both of those guns in your bag with medical, your other EDC with room to spare?
Federal judge rules that Felon in Possession Law is Unconstitutional. The Video explaining this is on Guns and Gadgets Channel. The video is from 7 months ago. The History and Tradition in America over 100 years ago was when a prisoner was being released he would be given a firearm and a small amount of money to give him a start with his new life. They stopped giving out the guns a long time ago but still give money even today. God bless you guys and keep up the good work.
25:01 facts on fax on faks. I hear that crap all the time. The objective is to stop the threat in the easiest, quickest, least violent way with minimal exposure and force on our end. This protects life, minimizes harm and trauma for you and others.
I'm not worried about bags looking tactical, there's tactical crap and camo sold everywhere for everything and everyone. Though a plain jane jansport bag is probably the most common bag.
I carry a sig MPX Copperhead in a Walmart laptop bag with a bunch of nerdy patches on it(a tamagachi pin, nasa patch, SpongeBob patch, baby Yoda patch, etc etc)
Wow seems like you've got it made in your state brother! In my state you get a permit to carry a pistol only - this excludes rifles and sbrs. My state also has limitations on transporting a rifle, must be unloaded and the ammo (mags) must be stored separately. So for me to legally do this, I would need to keep my mags in a separate pocket and cram a mag in when it's go time. This pretty much forces me to go the braced pistol route so I can keep it ready to go. Here's to hoping the brace cases go our way 🤞
Love this video but I want some more details. Do you slang it over your right shoulder or left shoulder? Grab first with your left hand or right hand and why?
"Look, I'm a Libertarian, buddy. That means that while I don't support communist black supremacist sex cults, I'll still die to defend their right to arm themselves so they can better kill me and my family when the time comes!" -- You, probably
I started carrying a Maxim defense 9mm carbine in my backpack a few months ago. Currently just on iron sights. But wanting to put a red dot on. I want the vortex UH1 but I’m concerned about short battery life. Saw you had it on one of you back pack builds. What are your thoughts on preferred back pack red dots?
You are definitely correct that a MK18 SBR is one of the most effective CQB forearms. You can use a pistol version with a folding stock adapter and a brace as long as they stay legal. Or you could build a Brownell's AR-180 pistol use a Sig MCX-Rattler LR. Or just use the AR-15 pistol with a sling setup like the SAS did with MP5. Many times the SAS used MP5s with slings and no stocks. As Clint Smith founder of Thunder Ranch said you use your pistol to fight to get to your rifle. The big downsides of an SBR are they more expensive with the NFA TAX. And SBRs are illegal in many statea. That's why I hope the pistol brace ban is finally ruled Unconstitutional by SCOTUS. Cheers
A Keltec Sub2000 is lightweight and compact when you fold it. And it still has the advantages of a 16 inch barrel. It's easier to shoot accurately as you have three points of contact with a true carbine. Plus you can get different models that are compatible with Berettas, Glocks and others. You can put 20 an 30 round magazines in your bag. While many that don't own them look down on the SUB2000. But they are reliable and give you a good value for the money. Aftermarket Upgrades are available. So in a scenario I could use my Beretta 92FS Compact and get to cover. Then rapidly deploy my SUB2000 that uses the same platform magazines. The Sub2000 also makes an ideal backpack gun for hiking.
I've had a hard time finding a pack for my 10.5 with pdw brace, I'm really considering going 7.5 or 5.5 because I think I'm being to obvious with a pack big enough for the 10.5..I could go with a folder but I like the pdw collapse better...idk truly why I haven't Installed a folding adapter
The thing people need to understand about bag rifles, is that they are not substitutes for concealed carry pistols. What they are, is a more powerful weapon that can be used in a situation where a handgun may not be enough. Maybe you are out at the mall with your family and someone starts shootings up the place. Maybe you are at work one day and shtf and now you have to get back home on foot. The bag rifle isn’t a fix everything tool, its just another tool in the toolbox.
The final conversation reminds me of the story of the Dalton gang. It was a major turning point in the Western US because it was when the people said enough is enough. They said that we have the ability to self regulate and in order to continue our growth we will need to. By self regulate I mean establish a general moral structure and be willing as individuals to protect that structure. (Hmm awfly similar to another major historical event that happened just over 100 years Prior) That means the individual being willing to take their own safety into their own hands and showing bad guys that they wouldn't back down. Not be vengeful about it but not stand by and get taken advantage of
Something to note: Stretchable backpack covers can be used to conceal a rifle that is slightly too big for your gun. It's not an EDC solution, but it could be a GTFO solution.
I would love to carry my rifle around but I have a very difficult time finding a backpack that isn't overtly tactical but still tall enough to hold my AUGA3. I'd prefer to have the whole thing assembled in the bag rather than fiddle with attaching the 16 inch barrel. Any advice or recommendations would be welcome.
One thing I would really like to see more detail on is weight considerations. I've asked this in other videos (not sure if answered or not) but the biggest issue I've ran into carrying a bag gun frequently for over a year. Now I wasn't sure how much I was going to get into this so when I built the firearm I put most of the money into the lower. I did get the Law Tactical folder for it the upper however is just a PSA 8.5 which I eventually plan to upgrade but overall the bag is just a little on the heavy side. I've gotten the weight down a lot since I originally started but it's still a little on the heavy side. If you ever do another bag video I'd love to see a small segment talking about weight I think it's an extremely overlooked aspect of this all.
