In your opinion, what would constitute me proving you wrong?
If no cops stop you, if nobody reacts with shock or fear, or stares, or a second glance, then that'll do it.
Simple, right?
But how will I know what happened? Not that I have any reason to think you're a dishonest guy (because no one has ever made up anything on the interwebs, right?) but I believe in the Reagan mantra of "Trust, but verify."
I think I strained my sarcasmer...
I'm totally against this idea, because, if you run into problems, we'll have to wait months to hear the story.
There is one big flaw in this whole setup. As far as we know the local LEOs still peruse these threads as they have in the past. They will likely be warned not to pull over anyone with an AR or AK on a bike and just keep an eye on them.
Good for them. Then I have done my job haven't I?

OK. After several simultaneous thread arguments about the "normality" of long gun carry I have decided to put my money where my mouth is. Alan aka Bunnykid is a good friend who live a couple miles from my house and I'm working out logistics of carrying my rifle to his house and back.
So, if I do this can we quit srguing about it? It's even lamer than OC/CC and I know we're all tired of that...
AR or AK?
I plan to not carry my pistol or any form of ID and I do not plan on identifying myself if I am stopped by police.
I am making a thread because this is the first time I have ever carried a gun to prove a point. If that point is not valid then I won't do it but I just think it is worth it if I can prove that carrying a rifle in the middle of a busy town will garner no reaction. I already proved I can OC the the movie theatre in the wake of all the arrests lately.
My bet is that I am not even stopped. If I am, it will be a quick conversation and that is it.
Wouldn't that be Conspiracy to Commit Internet Fraud?
As much attention as I attracted with a friend carrying a spinning wheel up Weinbach from an antique store that used to be (longer ago than I care to admit) beside the Subway at Weinbach and Lincoln to my dorm at UE, I would think that there is a strong likelihood of attention. It will be interesting to see whether it is positive or negative.
Well, you have to consider the type of people around there . I imagine a spinning wheel is MUCH more interesting than a guy on a bike with a gun.
He's a busy guy... I doubt he'll find out unless something goes wrong
I have him on speed dial, so his phone will be ringing if something goes wrong, you know like if T_frosts neck has a boot on it or something
