I'm reminded of the above toy hearing of a brief case gun. Yes it comical to me and it makes you happy carrying it then more power to you. Just be aware the police may let you take a ride and let the courts sort it all out of you are caught. Carrying a gun in that manner isn't common so it's hard to say what may or may not happen when dealing with the police.

I posted: "Am I the only one to think if one is discovered by a LE officer (unlikely, but certainly not impossible) with a sub2K (or something similar) in a 30.06 posted location one might be taking "The Ride"?"

"Unlikely, but certainly not impossible" is of course what I hoped would also be noticed.

Murphy's law has a way of making events that seem impossible or close to it, possible...

That being said, I'm interested in knowing the opinions/possible outcome of what is likely to transpire "if" one is discovered by LE to be concealed carrying a Sub2k or similar rifle in a 30.06 posted location?

Nothing?

Have the Sub2K seized with a giant hassle getting it returned?

Be escorted out of the building with no further ramification.

Take the ride?

Or...?

Why do I ask?

Because I'm considering doing what you and some others are doing if I buy a Sub2k i.e., taking it with me in a computer bag/briefcase into 30.06 locations - but only if I know in advance what will happen (chances are remote, but again, not impossible) if I'm discovered with a firearm in a 30.06 posted location. (yes, a Sukb2000 is not a handgun, but is a firearm)




The ill informed or overzealous LE officer may not take my possession of a concealed firearm in a 30.06 location very kindly or act within the law. He doesn't know me. I could be a lone nut case out to do harm...

With a lawyer, much expense and time, I'll probably be exonerated, but is that something I want to face if things go south?

You think the chance of being discovered concealed carrying a rifle in a 30.06 location is very close to nil, but I have to think you aren't 100% certain absolutely nothing negative would happen to you if the long arm of the law were to discover Mr. Harmless Grandpa is packing heat...yes, it's a rifle, not a handgun, but it may also create major hassle if discovered.

Jusme,

Just as 30.06 locations are being posted with signs at inappropriate governmental locations while these governmental employees simultaneously thumb their nose at our AG, so too can there be overzealous LE officers taking inappropriate measures.

One of the major considerations I see with you and TAM is the thinking that says no LE officer would have reason to check your bag. OK, why would it be a concern if they did? Why bother considering if it's of no consequence?

Because the trouble you can't get in, you're concealed carrying a rifle, not a handgun, may just occur...

If you attach a metal section of rail to the side of the polymer forend, the optic is still ultimately attached to a polymer forend, and whatever flex is inherent in the polymer forend is still going to affect your accuracy.

Seems that company recognizes the issue with the polymer forearm and has this stabilizer available:

I agree the Sub2K is a fun firearm. Whenever I take it out to the range someone usually comments about liking it.

I just bought $145 worth of upgrade parts from them, including that item.

The Sub-2000 in 9mm is an absolute hoot to shoot. I haven't done anything yet to customize mine, and I shot it with the provided iron sights rather than an optic, at a range of 25 yards. Ammo was WWB 115 grain FMJ.

My only "complaint" would be that, as delivered, the sights put the point of impact approximately 2"-3" left of center, and it required a fair amount of turns on the windage screw to shift the point of impact enough horizontally to the right to center the groups. I'm not too worried about that, as it now shoots fine for what it is, and I have a Primary Arms Advanced Micro Dot sight and a Midwest Industries MI Gen2 SUB 2000 T1/T2 Optic Mount on order, and that will be my primary means of aiming this gun. Sights aside, the Sub-2000 is certainly a "minute of man" gun, perhaps as far as 100 yards........ if you can get your target to hold still for you. But certainly it is very usable out to 50-75 yards.

Other than that, it ran like a champ. I shot 100 rounds without a single malfunction. I am REALLY happy with this little gun.
