FoldAR<\/a> is a unique weapon. The barrel can be unlatched and swung away to the side, halving the length of the rifle. If you feel like doing the paperwork for an NFA item, they also make a double-folding SBR. On this rifle, both the barrel and stock fold, reducing the total length to about the same as the receiver. You could probably keep it in a regular purse, and no one would be the wiser.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOther rifles<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The run-what-you-got category. While less ideal than the previous guns, what you have is better than what you don\u2019t. Most of these will still easily fit in a trunk or a duffle bag to carry into your hotel room. Rifles like standard Ars or AKs, lever guns with barrels 20 inches or less, and bolt-actions like the Ruger American Ranch or the ancient Carcano carbines. The key here is compact and reliable, with a quick reload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The EDC long gun can mean many things to many people. For some, it is way around burdensome laws. For others, it is a way to arm an additional family member should things go awry. And for another, it may be a peace of mind that they have something other than a compact pistol at their disposal should shit hit the fan while they are out and about. Whatever the reason, having a long gun as part of your EDC adds an extra level of redundancy and reassurance. As always, don\u2019t buy it and leave it forgotten in the trunk. Practice and build proficiency. Hopefully, you will never need it, but as they say, it is better to have and not need than need and not have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
