For the past year I've stuck with just a pistol in my truck, of course that's on top of my EDC that in wearing. Decided that the likelihood of my car being broken into is greater than needing a rifle.
Well, I've decided that's foolish for me. After recent happenings, I figured why not? It is more likely to be stolen. That's true. I can almost guarantee I'll never need it. That's also true. But then couldn't I use that same logic for my EDC? Or even owning a gun? It's a tool, and if possibly losing a $500 rifle and another $120 of other accessories means I'm ready for an active shooter or terrorist attack, so be it.
Now, behind the seat in my truck is my AK47 with a 40rd steel mag, and a chest rig with 4 30rd mags. Easy on, quick to deploy. The more I've thought about it, the more I've decided that this is the best solution for me. Luckily it's legal in my state.
I know that if something like Paris attacks were to happen somewhere that I was, and I was basically unarmed because all I had was a small pocket 9mm and a spare magazine, and innocent people died because there was nobody there to fight back, all because I was afraid of losing $500 investment, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself.
