Poll: SHTF and the SBR laws

[ORBrit]

The only reason I'd want one is concealability, and portability.

During the winter it could easily be concealed under a down jacket.

I guess in the grand scheme of things though a bull pup rifle would be just as concealable and portable without the disadvantages of the shorter barrel.

Where was the vote option, "SBRs are vastly overrated by their fans?"

I'd rather have an AUG or MSAR than any shortie AR, AK pistol or Krink I have ever handled or fired.

indeed my MSAR Vs my 10" AR pistol:

Msar points/handles/shoots/looks better

If I felt there was no longer any form of LAW and I could benefit from doing this, It might just happen.

But were talking Book of eli, zombieland, and mad max kind of SHTF

I'll bite:

At the point of complete disregard for all laws, safety, and personal freedoms, I wouldn't hesitate to break about any law that inhibited my life, or the life of my loved ones. This, of course, doesn't include rape/pillage/murder/mayhem, but I'm not going to fret over a little "illegal" weapon mod.


hat being said; until that day comes, I follow the rules.

You forgot an option on the poll. I would put a carbine length upper on my legal SBR, for two reasons. 1) It would be more useful. 2) It would bring less attention from any remaining LEO's, while it IS legal they may not have the time or patience to check it out.

So if a bill was passed that created a law banning all firearms of any form, you'd comply just like that.
You must be the only person to have never ever driven over the speed limit too!
Never carried in a place that prohibits it and violated a trespass law?

As far as "THEY" know.

no-i would'nt-the biggest reason is --people would still want to carry the same way afterwords-- (for instance) i was a union man for 25 yrs,and everytime their was a strike--for 6 months everyone was still on strike after we came back to work !! i have a marlin guide 45/70 and 2 hi cap 9's, + sks---if i can't make it on this, then it's my turn to go !!

Agree with that last statement ORBrit. I voted no in the poll (I know you made it anonymous but I don't bother about that generally) and here's why: I have come to admire the capabilities and versatility inherent in the bull pup design (I'd take an AUG/MSAR over an SBR any day but plan on getting a FS2000 sometime this year). Concealable as well as an SBR? Probably not. Conceal as well as an AR pistol? No, but you've got 17"+ worth of barrel for the 150M-200M ranges that may pop up with a bull pup where you're stuck with 7.5"-12.5" barrels with the AR pistol/SBR. I won't have a locker full of arms to choose from (financial and logistical issues like most folks) so trying to decide on the right tools to fill the meager few spots I have is paramount.

That last, longwinded, statement was a specific response to what ORBrit originally asked. As far as the comments/discussion concerning the coolness factor of AR pistols and SBR's: yup, most certainly cool toys!

hmmmm to decide to be judged by 12 or carried by 6

MSAR STG or E4 Steyr AUG type bullpup will give you the compact CQB package of a SBR with the ballistic advantages of the longer barrel and no $200 SBR Tax stamp required. problem solved.

You guys got my interest up, but even without a $200 tax stamp these thing are EXPENSIVE.
