Concealed Carry Rifle???

[tonydl3]

Does anyone know the state law on carrying a rifle? With all of these zombie attacks happening these last few weeks, I was thinking about buying one of those folding rifles and carrying it in a backpack. I'll still be carrying my handgun of course but I need an advantage if I get attacked by a group of them. Zombies aren't eating this brain!!!

It is legal.

LOL!

It is legal.

I know its legal to openly carry a rifle but is it legal to conceal one somehow? Like a rifle with a folding stock concealed in a bag? Not in your car but on you. I am not sure that is legal.

Those are super cool looking. I have never had the chance to shoot one. Do you own one? If so how easy are they to shoot? I have thought often about an AR pistol. There again classified by the ATF as a pistol so you can conceal it legally. I have never shot one of those either but i hear they are not that easy to shoot well. More specifically that rapid follow ups are not easy. I am sure the muzzle blast off a 7"-9" barreled .223 isn't pleasant either.

Not too good of a selection of IWB holsters though........................

Of course you can carry it concealed. I would like to see this done in Texas heat though. There are usually no laws for things you can do and nothing in there about concealing a rifle.

Thanks for all of the info guys. I was thinking about getting one of those folding rifles made by Kel-tec and maybe carrying it in a backpack.

I like that ideal. I wonder if it would go in a brief case? I also wonder how reliable they are?

Several of my friends and I have discussed the same topic and In lieu of the perfect sized carbine and backpack, neither exists, I have settled on an ar or ak pistol. I like the keltec plr 16 or the su16's in a foldable carbine rifle. The plr 16 is a gas piston, and while I'm not really a ar piston fan, for concealment, lack of the buffer tube is desirable.

It's not an ar compatible gun but the price is cheaper $450 vs$700-800 for an ar pistol. And no buffer tube sticking out. Use still can use pmags and 5.56 NATO.

That's a tempting alternative.

That kel-tec is pretty cool. My biggest fear is that I would leave it somewhere. If its not on my body I have a bad habi of walking off without it.

If you want to spend some more then you can sbr a rifle and stow in a backpack. I can fit a SCAR with 11" barrel and folded stock in a small backpack. With plenty of room on the sides for other stuff.
