I would like TX to do what Montana has done and if you make the rifle in the state, and it stays in the state, federal laws do not apply. An SBR in a backpack broken down would be the best of both worlds. Keeping a rifle with you and keeping it out of sight. It would take a drastic change in society to accept the fact that you can walk around with an AR slung on your back in the open. Unfortunately, the terrorist climate may be what changes society.

Of course you could do it now with a stamp but to me that's an infringement the same as the CHL but that a different argument.

Unfortunately this won't work. The Supreme Court has ruled in several cases (unrelated to guns) that the product 'possibly could' move in interstate commerce someday and also the 'product', even if staying within state lines, could affect commerce in the product in other states.

The Constitution's Commerce Clause has been used to federalize everything.

I would though, in this terrorist climate, like to carry my AR slung over my back, when out and about as is done in Israel.

Will I do it?

No!

If however, it's carry is supported by the powers that be...then yes. At this point, I feel rather under-gunned with only a G19.

Perhaps, if more high profile people/politicians support this AR idea and it's broadly accepted, then yes, I sling up...

We are at war here on the U.S. homeland.
