I personally don't have the funds to setup multiple rifles for this purpose. Nor do I care to register an SBR or risk spending the money to setup something with a pistol brace for the eventuality when the ATF modifies their Pistol Brace ban and we end up back to square one with that. What I do have that I feel is the most practical for me if I were to carry like this is my S&W FPC. Even though it's just a PCC, it folds and is compact and I would think would deliver more velocity at range compared to my CC S&W Equalizer. The secondary advantage for the FPC is the magazine carriers in the but stock. It comes with one flush 17rnd and 2 x 23 rnd extended magazines.
We aren’t advocating that everyone needs to go out and build a bag gun. We are just trying to get people to have the right mindset. If the video does that, then we’ve achieved our goal.
If it’s what you can afford then it’s better than nothing. Please know that 99% of PCC’s are range toys and not to be used for self protection. 9mm double stack double feed Colt mag fed AR’s and MP5 style guns are superior if one feels they want to sacrifice a rifle caliber for pistol caliber convenience. It’s great that you have something
If you're going be concerned with what the atf might do, i don't see how you can purchase any gun. Let alone how you think a folding gun that has multiple scary magazines wont be on the chopping block eventually 🤷🏿♂️
@@mace_felloutthe_windu I'm not concerned about what the ATF hasn't already targeted. I mentioned the pistol brace specifically because they already have targeted it. And although we currently have a nationwide injunction, that is based on the APA. Meaning the ATF didn't follow the rules pertaining to how they change their "rules". This means that all they really have to do is correct that mistake and we are back to square one.
Thankful to live in a state that I can stow a rifle in my truck. Your pistol is a secondary weapon, it should always get you to your primary weapon which is your rifle. Awesome video.
To combat the illegality statement, with the new pistol brace ruling it would be acceptable to throw a brace on it and conceal it as a "pistol" completely legal!
Yeah nah. In MD a pistol and a handgun are different things. Sadly. Wear and carry of a handgun is obtainable, but not for a pistol. We had open carry, but that just disappeared a few weeks ago.
Appreciate this video and the topics you are covering. I was a supply guy in an Airborne Infantry unit and it is very encouraging to see our civilians finally understanding that preparation, training, planning, and rehearsing is what gets you that win when the fight comes. Remember folks, train to be tactically and TECHNICALLY proficient in you three core Shoot, Move, Communicate skillsets and you will be setting yourself up for success!!! Be well America...
Dude every video is a cinematic masterpiece especially the intros, I love the message your spreading and I hope your following continues to grow so more people learn the importance of not just 2A, but our natural human rights bestowed upon us by our Creator. God bless.
Just curious though… what is the message? The entire first part is just sensationalism. We have had FAR worse times in the nation. Civil war, civil rights, Rodney king riots, Great Depression… the list goes on even further and I’m sure some people could add more. I feel like the gun community has a hard on for acting like it’s so “dangerous” today. Safer now than ever in American history. It’s a cool video for sure and I think you shouldn’t be stopped from carrying whatever firearm you want. Just not clear on what is intended with the intro other than fear mongering.
its sad. if we simply prioritized building homogeneous, high-trust societies and a government that solely worked in the national interest then we would never even need to exercise these rights.
Im not the kinda guy that thinks I need to carry a rifle all the time, but I do in certain situations where I know the risk level is increased. I fully support everyone carrying a rifle in their backpack. What I find to be absolutely stupid is open carry. If you open carry, you aren't scaring the bad guy away, you are drawing them in. Good vid!!!
I have split the difference and gone to a 5.7 handgun. I can easily carry over 70 rounds rounds with a red dot sight and a weapon light and easily hit steel targets at 100 yards. No bag required! But I respect the rifle carry you do you! Where I live though it’s just a lot!
Way smarter. This guy pointed out that people will think he’s paranoid. He is paranoid, and afraid. You will never be in a situation where you HAVE to be in a riot lmao. A pistol will always do.
@@jorgeenchilada exactly the statistical probability of deploying a rifle from bag is just so low. I just avoid those locations where that may be a bigger probability in the first place. Now I’ll bring rifles with me often in the vehicle and he absolutely has the constitutional right so carry on! I’m just not that worried. Life is good where I live.
The weight and bulk really adds up a lot. Brass facts did a great video on this subject of the viability of a pcc for bag carry for this exact reason. Rifles in bags are heavy and take up the entire bag or force you to carry a really huge bag. 5.7 is a very formidable round, some may argue that fact but it's a great lightweight round for what it is. I can carry 3 times as much ammo as 9mm for the same weight.
@@DIYDad1exactly that is why I made the compromise. It’s enough gun and magazine capacity along with truly extended range compared to 9mm to give me the warm and fuzzies without becoming ridiculous. I still look completely normal walking around with no special accessories yet I have a 100 yard gun and 70 rounds on me! If I need more than that I should have been making better decisions. Or God was ready to call me home. If I end up dead with all of that at slide lock then brothers it was nice knowing you but I’m ready to meet the Lord so it’s no loss for me. At least I. Had the ability to take some bad guys with me and probably did.
@@MinimumSpeedOperator gives us a fighting chance and a huge force multiplier of we God forbid ever need it. I have friends that insist on carrying like 10 rifle mags and 10 more loaded in a backpack for sustained firefights and I'm just like...this bag gun / pdw gun, whatever you want to call it, is to get me home out of a bad situation. If we have a red dawn situation as I like to call it... Well you'll find me on the roof of my house behind some sandbags not walking around through the city with 100 pounds of gear.
I’m an old fart who’s always thought my 1911 and a spare mag would be plenty. But after the last few years and more specifically the last few weeks, a handgun just doesn’t seem like enough anymore. I have a couple rifles I’ve carried in my vehicles for quite a while but I‘’ve decided to take that a step further and put together a backpack gun. I like your configurations and your thought process. It’s helpful to see yours in action before committing to my own setup. I agree with making it mainstream. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while but realize it’s becoming more of a need than a want nowadays. Enjoyed the video.
If you’re unironically carrying a 1911 in 2023 I’d be willing to bet money you’re far too out of shape and far too under-trained for it to matter whatsoever. A fudd with a backpack rifle is probably more of a threat than whatever he thinks he’s defending himself from in his schizophrenic episode. Stop watching the news.
@@Powerhungry5000 nothing happened to them. They just got Brain wormed by Fox News and have fake, not real, made up grievances in their heads because the world is changing and they don’t like it.
I'll be honest, I never thought about EDC'ng a rifle! Thanks for expanding my train of thought! I will be now also be considering this as an option too! Love this video! Thank you for all your hard work making this video! ❤️
Ok, I've actually put a lot of thought into this subject. For several reasons, one my travel distance to work is an hour both ways. I served is a logistical think tank unit in the army, when we made domestic threat exercises EMP was also the ugliest and scariest to me personally. Still to this day. 2nd is the break in's in my works parking lot. I carry a p365 as my EDC, I want to build a kit based around my car and mu travels. So here is were it stands now. 1. Plates, volocity systems ulv with compressed plate carrying shirt 2. A basic p365 3. A mck conversion kit, with a sig red dot, and the mck light. 4. Emp bag, with a radio, atac( old phone), boafeng inside, small drone Car has a emp shield on it. My goal was to keep the set up cheap, but reliable and functional. Hopefully this will get me home to the wife and kid when those gamma focused EMP's go off over Kansas 19 mile up
I have a 7in .300blk that I keep in pistols configuration so it’s covered under my CCW with a law tactical folder and a magpul brace. I keep it in a vertex sling bag with a 20round mag in it. Along with a spare magazine and a med kit and I still have room for my every day use items. I’d rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it
HOLY CROW, brother! What kind of situation in middle America do you imagine yourself getting into where you'll need a 7" .300 blackout PISTOL with 30-round mags?????? If you do, you need to STOP GOING THOSE PLACES. You just have a small............you know.
@@notmyname3883don’t be a jerk. He can do as he pleases but the protection gained vs. comfort lost is not worth it for urban carry. I would carry that backpacking though. Stowed away and just for the night time as to not scare the fuck out of others.
@notmyname3883 Defeating of body armor comes to mind. Defeating barriers also is a thought. There are many uses for the 7" barrel while using the 300 blackout It just takes a thinking man to understand them.
Soldiers and cops fight when the government has their backs, we fight because the government is on our backs. Fear holds a man back. Fear of loss and fear of exile. When us as real Americans can stick together and make the politicians and cops Fear us then things will change. Remember Ruby, Waco, and Katrina
Nice job. I use a similar setup with a 7.5 /556. I use a 20 round Duramag in my firearm while stored to reduce the bulkiness as well as reducing any potential snags upon removal and insertion into the pack. All backup mags are 30 round mags.
I agree. Now I live in the middle of nowhere Texas. For the last 7 years I have pretty much carried a short AR, a Long slide Glock with a Brace, a Sub 2K or something.
I used to work in Ephrata area, Sepi's does great work. Much love from an Ex-Pennsylvanian. This video made me realize that my backpack that I carry everyday can accommodate for some extra measures.
@@chrishesotian1654If you've ever been in airports for any length of time, you'd learn that they tell EVERYONE to not leave your backpack just laying around, lol
You’re overthinking ONE aspect and missing the entire point of this video: tyrants prefer you disarmed and dead rather than being free to exercise your human rights.
A good bag option is in Eberlestock’s lineup. The Jacknife has a panel against the carrier’s back that can hold a 11.5” (if broken down into upper/lower) - A decent .300BLK or 5.56 broken down with an optic and maybe a suppressor, and the bag actually fits in daily life. Doesn’t appear tactical necessarily, so you cant be called out like someone carrying 5.11 or such.
My get home safe bag when walking around Philly consists of a bulletproof backpack (which I wear in the front lol) with a 11x14 3+ steel plate sewn in. In it, I keep a 9 inch FM15 or a Ruger 57 for my backpack gun. I have two TQ’s (rat and a CAT), compressed gauze, 2 chest seals, and too many other items to list here.
I grew up in Philly, live in Bristol now. Work as a paramedic in Cheltenham Township. My wife has family in Kensington. When we visit, I'll take an Army. Lol. I used to be a medic there. I also have a rifle in my truck.
Well done video, I appreciate the quality and rational arguments. However, rifle carry has a severe liability to asset ratio that will always make it a poor choice without a specific mission that necessitates it. In any case, where are the suppressors? Why are you staring with earpro on? It is already unrealistic. The first problem is shown in the opening scene. The rifle was separated from the person. This absolutely cannot happen for even one moment. Would you remove your EDC pistol and leave it somewhere? Ever? But you will separate from your rifle. That is a no-go and there is no way to guarantee that to never happen. Next, it is utterly unrealistic to carry a backpack into every grocery store, restaurant, mall or other store (many forbid backpacks) etc that you may happen upon. You will have to leave it in your vehicle where it is worse than worthless, it is a liability when crime such as auto burglary is at an all time high. You would need to invest thousands into locking storage. I lost a pistol this way and will never do it again. Lastly and worst of all, you will face a high likelihood of being shot by responding LE or other citizens. It has happened before so do not say it won't happen or you can prevent this. You can much more easily hide a pistol with a sul position or just re-holster and disappear. Not so with a rifle. Remember the guy who shot a bad guy, picked up his rifle, then got killed by the cop that showed up and shot the guy with the rifle like he was told? That citizen with the rifle is dead. His family lost him for nothing. You will be dead, then what about your family you are so passionate about protecting and providing for? They are on their own and for what? All because you got shot by a responding cop that took a 100y shot at the guy with the rifle. No, rifle carry without a specific mission is a horrible idea. If you really want to be prepared with some extra fighting gear, pack a small bag with extra pistol mags, a full size suppressor, IFAK etc.. I EDC a suppressor in my pocket already and can hit paper plate sized target standing with a suppressor which I can mount in about 4 seconds. If the situation turns into the 1986 FBI shootout or North Hollywood shootout, then getting involved, even with a rifle, is probably a very unwise choice. Instead, along with some extra pistol gear, learn better tactics, how to stalk and close distance and up your marksmanship to get head shots at 50y. It is not that hard. Frankly, if your tactics require a rifle to deal with an active shooter your tactics are lacking. To close this out, how are you going to feel when one of your viewers ends up in the news, dead, because they got involved with a rifle and got shot like the previous guy? Would you still promote rifle carry?
Exactly 💯. If I have a "bag gun" it's mainly used for long distance traveling or as a get home gun/PDW for when things around me may have gotten so bad to the point I have to ditch my vehicle and need something with more firepower than my EDC. The bag also has a quick-grab bandoleer w/med kit, extra mags, etc; but again, my specific PDW setup/kit in this bag is designed around this very specific purpose. Not for bee-bopping around town. I believe in being prepared, but unless things go to total and complete garbage, which necessitates the need for pulling out a rifle in public, which would be basically a WROL scenario, I won't be carrying a rifle around. I think many people get caught up in the hype of this tactical BS and are the same type who will say their EDC handgun is so they can "fight their way back to their rifle." That's BS. In reality, the fight will begin and end with whatever you have on you; which will REALISTICALLY be your EDC handgun or a blade (as a last resort). IMHO, train with ANY platforms you carry, whether it be your vehicle gun and/or EDC, and become proficient. All that gear, weapons, ammo, medical, etc won't mean diddly squat if you don't know how to use any of it.
Imo we need to protect our state from those who bastardize it. We are one of the last truly free places left in the north east. We must not let this fade from our commonwealth
14 reasons NOT to carry a backpack rifle DAILY when compared to a concealed handgun: 1. It is not quick deploy (at least not on the level of drawing a handgun) and therefore not an effective defensive tool in many situations. Most defensive scenarios happen quickly and at very close distances. 2. Places like supermarkets, retail stores, movie theaters, sports and entertainment venues, and most places you would normally actually go to probably won't let you carry a backpack, regardless of what's inside. Most handguns are concealable on the body and don't require a backpack. 3. Carrying a pack can make you a target itself. Criminals will be more likely to attack you if they think they can get more out of the attempt. They don't have to know there is a rifle inside, just that you have more stuff to steal. If they succeed, you just armed a criminal with a high-powered, semi-auto rifle they may not otherwise have been able to get. 4. In the case of a mass shooting or similar situation, unless you are authorized to be there, LEOs may mistake you for the perp or accomplice. This is more towards involving yourself in a mass shooting than what weapon you choose, but if you were a LEO and saw someone you don't recognize at or near the scene carrying an AR... well I think you can fill in the blanks. 5. Rifles have high energy, high penetration, and great distance. You could very easily injure or kill an innocent person or people even at hundreds of yards away far outside the intended target range. You don't have the right to endanger innocent lives to protect your own, at least not if there are steps that you can take to help prevent it (like carrying a handgun). There is always this danger regardless of firearm, but rifles compound the issue. 6. No matter how small you make them, rifles are heavy, bulky, and less effective at maneuverability and speed than a handgun in the likely scenarios you will use them here. 7. The additional size/weight of a heavy pack will slow you down if you need to flee or get to cover. Also making it more difficult to move around tight areas like in and around vehicles (which will be the first thing you do, since its not quick deploy) or moving through entryways, windows, tight hallways, etc. and can more easily snag or get caught up during deployment. 8. Whether you agree or not, it is illegal to conceal a loaded rifle (although AR pistols may be a different matter, that's not what you're carrying). It shouldn't be, but it is. You are MUCH more likely to be searched and arrested than actually using it in any scenario. You will likely go to jail, weapons confiscated, and you won't be able to purchase a firearm or NFA item ever again. Even if you do successfully use it to defend yourself or others, you will likely STILL be arrested for carrying it illegally in the first place (assuming they can prove it was already loaded or otherwise illegal firearm use). What happens to your loved ones now? This is a VERY important consideration. Your worth to your family doesn't only extend to defense. Also, I'm assuming that is a registered SBR since it has a stock and you are showing it publicly no? If you are going to break the law anyway why go through that process? 9. Very short barrels are often times unreliable and the ammo may not perform as intended. 300blk for example may not expand as designed (or at all) with many types of ammo from a 5 inch barrel, subs or supers. 10. Anyone who has shot a very short rifle knows how incredible the flash, volume, and concussive force is. It is like a flash bang going off in front of your face especially indoors or in confined spaces. If you're using subs with .300blk from that short a barrel to reduce this, they will be no more effective than most pistol rounds (even less than some). 11. The money spent on a specific setup like this could be better used for training with something you likely already have, like a handgun. That is something we ALL need more of. 12. Some may say their reasoning is to penetrate soft armor. Only supers will do this from that short a barrel and it isn't guaranteed depending on distance, ammo type, size of attacker (in terms of reaching vital organs after penetration), additional clothing or gear under or over armor, or type of armor itself, which you can't predict. The VAST majority of shootings don't involve body armor. Although still possible, so is winning the Powerball. However if that is still a concern for you, rounds like 5.7 will penetrate most soft armor and can be shot from a handgun. Also, an attacker wearing armor does not mean they are impervious to bullets in general obviously. There are many other places to hit a target other than the chest especially if they are visibly wearing armor. Also, pistol rounds don't just bounce off soft armor. Most of the energy is still transferred. They may not die from it, but if someone smashed you in the chest with a sledgehammer do you think you'd still be good to go? How about multiple times in quick succession to the same area? 13. Typically comfort isn't a strong consideration for not using a specific setup. In the case of daily carry however, a handgun is much easier and more comfortable than a 10 pound pack. I think that's something worth considering at least. 14. This may ruffle some feathers, but I believe it to be true nonetheless and should be mentioned. In terms of a potential mass shooting or similar situation, unfortunately most people don't have the necessary training to be useful in these high-stress scenarios with lives on the line. Often times they can prove more of a liability. Honestly, we don't want a bunch of yahoos imagining themselves John Wick running around with rifles making decisions they aren't qualified to make. This may endanger lives needlessly or distract the LEOs from their jobs, as worthless as they sometimes may seem. This isn't true in every scenario or with every person. Some things can't be avoided especially in the heat of the moment. However I would rather not have Jim-Bob with the hi-point he bought last Thursday rushing into a scenario like this, especially when people I care about are involved. Would you? Bonus 1: Why are you carrying armor in your pack? If you're that concerned, why not actually WEAR a soft armor vest under your clothing? There are endless options to choose from Bonus 2: A law folder must be deployed outside of taking a single shot. Although they are shorter, when folded they make the rifle wider. If you are going to carry a rifle for the purpose of actual deployment, using a collapsible stock or brace and getting a slightly longer pack will slim the setup and allow you to immediately fire the weapon repeatedly vs having one shot or taking the extra time to unfold for more. Also, the law folder weighs nearly a pound itself, costs hundreds of dollars, and if anything at all blocks the device you won't be able to unfold it quickly either. There is that much more to go wrong. Backpack guns are for transportation or "Bugout" which is its own debate. I think we can put this one to rest.

I don’t EDC one but anytime I’m going outta town or on vacation or anything other than the day to day stuff I bring a rifle caliber pistol in a bag. Either a Gen 2 Galil Ace 7.62x39 8” with a folding brace. A 8” 300blk or a 10.3” 556 and with both the AR’s I roll with the upper and lower taken down. I feel like if I have time to get into my bag then I have time to pop two pins, the takedown and pivot pins, load a mag and rack the charging handle. In a situation where I need something right then that second it’s going to be the edc G19. I defend have nothing against having an edc rifle on a bag. Just don’t be that guy who leaves it in the vehicle.
The concept is good. I just avoid areas I would deem it necessary to carry a rifle in public. The “grey man” look is so visible now in public, you may not think it but you are immediately fingered as a guy carrying a weapon.
Is that necessarily a bad thing? Do criminals usually pick those who seem to be capable and prepared to immediately end them? What does nature and wildlife teach us of predators and prey? Just some questions to ponder.
@@TATargets I agree in most cases it would be good, I would just be fearful of looking like I had things a large group of ne’er-do-wells would want lol I guess if they wanted you though, at least you have a rifle to fight them off instead of a 365 😂. This has definitely got me thinking more about it. Which means your content was successful! You’ve earned my sub sir
With all said, I EDC a FoldAr and it’s the best! I also can change barrel if I wanted to go short. I carry a 9 barrel and 16 barrel and staccato CS. Loving it everyday because you never know what’s going to happen next.
I was in Vegas when that shooting went down, I was safe a half mile away but still.. If someone had one of these in a bag they could have quickly engaged, even if they didnt hit the guy he would have stopped and taken cover giving many people time to flee and saving people. I agree... more people need to carry... and carry for situations we've been seeing.
@@green461 it’s beyond irresponsible. There was plenty of cops of scene with ARs, it just wasn’t a good shot to take with an RDS. Actually there is a great video of a cop telling Dan Balzerian (sp?) to “fuck off” after Dan keeps begging him to hand over his rifle to try what you’re talking about.
@@baronvonsnazzy3355 It was 400 yards from hotel window to concert, cops could get much closer to him, 200-300 yards easy. With a police AR 5.56 just aim 2ft high... I would have tried and if the 1st shot missed I would have got him with the 2nd or 3rd. Hitting him would have been easier than what Lee Harvey Oswald "supposedly" did. And no worry about hitting anyone else, from him to the ceiling you got at least 5-6ft, and from him to the floor and the distance above anyone potentially under is equal or greater distance... anyone thats a decent shot couldnt miss that bad if they tried.
Agree however my mission is to get home not pretend i care to lay my life down for people that have every opportunity to protect themselves just as i do.
I do think that deploying a rifle makes you more of a target because it is MUCH more taboo then a handgun. Also other heroic Americans may try to engage the "threat" but be unable to tell which one of you rifle welders are the culprit.
Love my Vertx bag(s). Also, Eberlestock makes quality bags as well and I love the ones of theirs I have. I set up a commuter today, but not for a rifle or a PCC. I set it up for EDC with my FN510 (when it’s not in my IWB, and the medical stuff I take everywhere I go. I’m basically building my new get-home bag as my previous bag was USMC go-to-hell bag from the ILBE. I may end up running an APC10 pro in it in the near future, but I don’t have a compact rifle and it’s not likely that I will. I watched this with my 7-year-old (he prepares and trains with me) and he wanted me to say he liked your vibe. Thank you for generating content that lays out a framework for the path that the newly awakened can follow.
I conceal carry a handgun, but if I'm going out and about beyond my normal activities, I'll also carry a PCC in sling bag. My biggest concern in an active shooting situation is that the police won't be able to determine who's who with a gun or not; and the law abiding citizens using their 2A right to protect themselves and others from criminals may be shot by police, at the very least they will be arrested and charged. As we've seen all too often, no good deed by law abiding citizens to protect themselves and others from criminals goes unpunished. Because no good deed goes unpunished in today's society, I will not risk helping anyone I don't know; if you're an adult, it's up to YOU to protect yourself and your loved ones. If YOU won't do it, don't expect others to do it for you.
This is one of the reasons why I have a playlist on my channel saved called gunz. One of the first videos shows a man wearing heavy clothing concealing a rifle.
I keep one of my PDWs in a sling bag secured in a locker in my vehicle, I think that’s close enough. Unless I was on a detail, I just can’t see walking around daily with an extra 10 pounds of gun and magazines on my back. IMO unless I’m an intended “target”, my EDC sidearm can get me out of any run of the mill situation. That being said, I like the bag choices and your philosophy.
@@adventurefuel5172 I carry my PCC slingbag if I'm going into a city, which is rare thankfully; and I'm in a 2A state. I usually consider where I'm going so I know what to pack. 😎
I’ve been going over it in my head, over and over again and discussing it with my wife. I see no situations (another than walking up to a mass incident) that warrants a backpack gun. By the time it’s deployed the issue most likely has passed me by….😂😂😂 Everything else can and should be avoided…..but I don’t like in a sh_t hole city. Let’s all hump our rucks through the grocery stores and DMV 😂😂😂 and I own a sweet backpack gun. Viking Armament Loki II
I have a pretty sweet backpack with sapi plates in the back that deploy to the front with the attached weapon carrier and attached weapon. I bought it because I thought it was cool, no possible clue where I would want to carry such a thing and absolutely no reason for it to ever leave my house! If I am going somewhere I could possibly imagine needing that I need to rethink my need to go where ever I was planning on going! I have been CC a pistol for the last 20 years and not once needed to pull it so even a pistol is overkill in 99.99999999 percent of situations!
once again youtube has unsub me from your channel bout to set a monthly reminder to make sure that my favorite channel arent being denied to me by youtube.
I run a bag with 1st aid for wounds and carry enough self defense 9mm +P to hopefully get out of problems. G19 Gen3 with a good 507c dot. I've ran it as main sidarm in classes to trust it 100%.
Just excellent and I agree wholeheartedly with you! With the advent of more and more permits and permitless carry, LE needs to have more and more training on not automatically assuming the guy with the gun (long or short) is the bad guy! Even the best LE response time with the best LE professional takes time. Time you most likely do not have. In order for you, yours, and other good people to survive, we must be ready to take immediate action. Your content is very inspiring!
LE needs to be trained to understand that the people, in general, aren’t the bad guy. Sadly, they view everyone as a threat and, largely, treat everyone as guilty until proven innocent.
I fully agree with the first part of your thought! That's after 30 years of LE now retired. Also, everyone is still innocent until proven guilty. There's no problem there. Sadly, as you say, everyone encountered by LE must be looked at suspiciously for Officer Survival. The Professional/Experienced LEO does so without outwardly showing that reasonable apprehension. Back to your point, everyone with a gun is not a bad guy and that does need to be reinforced to us all.
I started carrying a AR style pistol last year with a Sig Sauer MCX Rattler pistol in 300AAC. When I carry always have a button down shirt. This allows me to have 4 30 round mags 1 in the Rattler and 3 in the TREX Arms Ready Rig. I also have my SureFire SOCOM300 SPS can in my bag as well. So I can quickly attach with the SureFire WarComp muzzle device. My sight is an Aimpoint CompM5B on a LRP mount and spacer with flip up lens covers. Then I have a SureFire Scout M340C on a Arisaka MLOK mount and connected to a SureFire picatinny pressure pad SR07 with DS00 tailcap. With the A3 Modular Folding Brace. I have a Dayton Armor Back Pack plate in my pack. My pack is a GoRuck GR1 Heritage.
I already have a back pack set up and love it. I have a Daniel Defense PDW in a vertex gamut with 3 extra mags in velcro carriers in the pack. Goes with me everywhere.
I still feel like a pdw similar too or a TP9 or TP380 makes more sense for more people than something like a small AR, but if you have the weight and space available, a quality rifle will always do better than any kind of pistol caliber
What's crazy is that you speak about leveling the playing field when it comes to dealing with a mass shooter and carrying a rifle certainly flattens the curve, but even then you still have significantly less firepower than those willing to do harm if you consider they are 1. Most likely to have body armor that cover their vitals not just an insert of soft body armor in a bag, 2. Will most likely have a chest rig that allows them to carry more rounds of ammunition and aid to quicker re loads. 3. Will most likely have a full powered 16 inch rifle that will be significantly more capable than a 5 inch pdw. 4. Will have the advantage of surprise when you are probably at your most vulnerable, especially when you take into account the time it takes to deploy your rifle. With all these things considered its insane there are people that will still claim its overkill.
I simply cant wait for the day someone with a bag gun DOES stop someone in full kit to really get the bag-gun detractors rethinking this fallacy in their logic. Even my gunsmith thought I was crazy when I showed him my bag.
Even those who EDC a handgun will scoff at you for carrying a spare mag. They'll make jokes like "If you cant get the job done with 6 rounds you shouldn't carry." They dont seem to understand ANY variable tilted into your favor no matter how miniscule increase your chances of survival. You do not know what kind of situation you will run into. Just a few weeks ago a man in La fought off 2 attackers on his own property with his "California compliant" 10 rd magazine. After the conflict he was left with 2 rounds of ammunition, he did not strike a single one of them and thankfully the attackers ran but they DID return fire as they fled and if they had decided to stick around and fight he would have been over powered and shot dead without a doubt. Of course them being criminals attempting to force entry into his home I doubt they were compliant with the 10 round mag law. @@jamesdendy6384
I live in the city of Chicago and never recommend putting a rifle in a bag due to many snatch and grabs. Live in the hood for at least a year and then you'll know common street knowledge. I think your definition of urban is more suburban. I believe your reason to carry a rifle is more to be vigilante and not for your own personal defense. With many experiences of seeing people getting into confrontations living in the hood, you will never have enough time to remove it from the bag and unfold your weapon to stop the threat.
Just an opinion, If you are carrying a rifle then I assume you are also EDCing a side arm... That book bag will simply be picked up within 15 yards from where it was grabbed, if I had to guess.
You have to check your local CCW laws. CCW permits on most states are for handguns only and not for rifles. Though a rifle with a pistol brace is technically pistol, good luck debating that with the mall cop or the officers responding to the call while other people are watching. You will have to pay a lawyer for anybody to listen that you’re carrying a “rifle” with high-capacity mags in public is to even the odds just in case there’s a mass shooter. And your lawyer has to beat the evening news before it gets out a “person with a rifle with 30-round mags” got arrested at the local movie theater. With a handgun, they might politely ask you to leave or leave your handgun in your car. But with a rifle, you will definitely miss the movie and might not even go home. Though it could be legal, cops will investigate your intent on carrying a rifle (braced pistol, etc.). Expect your social media history and even shopping history split wide open. If your finances, job and family can handle that ordeal, then go ahead. Nobody will ever hear or care that you got vindicated after, only that you’re forever the guy who got caught with an assault rifle inside the mall. That’s how the news, public and your peers will remember you. I was that guy with the rifle - until I learned the hourly rates of defense lawyers and some security randomly run metal detector wands on bags.
@@felixdewinter3484 Yeah, what happens when you didn't know and you actually went in and cops and security randomly run metal detectors on backpacks on guys like when the movie "Joker" came out?
@@SpyderWebbX than you deal with the consequences of making a choice to carry a gun in a place you’re not allowed to carry. Worst that happens to you is get told to leave. If you get stupid and escalate the situation by screaming about your “rights” than maybe the cuffs come out and you get cited for criminal trespass or unlawful possession of a weapon on prohibited grounds. Now you’ve got a RAP sheet and have to carry that with you for the rest of your life. And we’ll all be laughing at you because you decided to get stupid about your guns. So like I said, go be a public menace somewhere else.
@@felixdewinter3484 That’s exactly what I’m saying. That’s why I dont CCW a rifle because it drastically limits my freedom of places I can go. And they have gun-sniffing dogs that patrol some malls every now and then. If you see how those dogs detect guns, you could be walking by and they can detect the gun on the backpack. News will say "possible mass-shooting in mall averted by K9."
@@SpyderWebbX maybe the headlines are right. What reason do you have to conceal carry a rifle in a mall setting. Are you that scared of everybody that you need a rifle to help you function normally in public? How do we know you aren’t going to be a mass shooter and the dogs actually saved people at the mall by detecting those guns early and actually doing what the headlines say ie preventing a mass shooting?
My Springfield Saint Pistol w/folding stock and at least 4-6 xtra 30 rd mags in a decent backpack with fixed blade knife, some water and food, may not be my EDC, but it does go with me when I leave my town for a road trip. As things continue to go south, it may get reconfigured to an EDC. Good video!
I'm so glad you made this like a little film and not just standing at a table,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, because you showed us what you consider a normal going about town,,,,,,,,,,,,, and within just a bit over a minute demonstrated leaving your SBR out of arms reach and in a position you MAY not even notice someone walking off with it (at the very least not be able to react fast enough to stop the snatch 1:07). Carrying off-body is last-resort for me; "yes" if I feel I need something more than a pistol, I'd probably have a sling bag just like yours,,,,,,,,,,, BUT,,,,,, I don't think I could treat it like any ordinary bag,,,,,,,and as such, it's really not going to feel EDC.
What an extremely well thought out video. The topic is relevant and the presenter is very knowledgeable. The video cinematography is on point as well as the editing. I will most definitely share and will be ordering from your companies.
Best back pack arms #1 a pistol 10mm with a shoulder brace kit #2 raptor shotgun #3 bull pup #4 a cheap keltec su16c folding 556 rifle cheaper option is a kelec su16c folding 556. #3 a raptir shotgun
Hey Jared, I really enjoy hearing your pearls of wisdom like "gun rights are human rights," etc. I would like to know of some books or essays that have shaped your views. Have you written anything on these subjects we can read online? Would you share a reading list perhaps in a future video?
I carry a cmmg decent 5.7 in a bag . I thought this was going to be lessons and theory on how to do it better . This is just preaching . How many times can you say the same thing over and over
I carry my MPX as a rifle. The tricky part was finding a bag that would fit it with the suppressor attached. Suppressors are both awesome and cumbersome. But I believe they're worth it.
Hey Jared, I appreciate and commend you for you comments at the end of the video, I admire yout courage and your patriotism, that converted me to a customer, I'll look at your website and you'll get my orde soon. BTW I'd love to talk to you about legal issues when it come to carrying a rifle/carbine, something bigger than a handgun.
I really like the video. Intelligent assessment of what is happening in America today. I have amost finished a backup car/truck AR pistol. I have a gen 4SA folder and a echo sport. 7.5 barrel with Beek Arms brake and blast shield.
I got a few Vertx bags and all do exactly as asked and a lot more. My MPX K fits perfectly with a bunch of extra fuel for her. Not sure of the models but I got 2 medium sized and fairly large one that hides the molle system well and has a lot of options.
