OP, that looks like an AR to me. All I know is if I am walking around downtown Dallas and if someone who is not a police officer is walking around with that, I'm not going to ask him whether it is an AR. I will just assume it is, and hopefully I'm wearing sneakers at the time because I'm running the fuck away from him.

A good p[oint: Just because something is legal doen't mean it is a good idea to brandish it around. Here in Texas, I understand that open carry of a handgun is legal . . .but I'd never do that in downtown Dallas either I am a little hazy on open carry of a long gun in Texas though.

In any case, the point of that design/marketing exercise is that in California, it is not lawful to even own what they define as an assault rifle. What they defined as an assault rifle is largely determined by the configuration of the gun in terms of forbidden "features". Prominent among those forbidden features is the presence of as pistol grip and an adjustable but stock. By crating the lower receiver that has neither pistol grip nor adjustable, but stock removes the firearm from the legal definition (in California) of an assault rifle.

This is not an assault rifle under current California law.[/url] Originally Posted by ICU 812

Definition: Assault Rifle - military firearm that is chambered for ammunition of reduced size or propellant charge and that has the capacity to switch between semiautomatic and fully automatic fire.

Of all the photos I looked at, ZERO had a selector switch.

You are not going to out run a projectile traveling at approximately 3000 fps.

That’s not to say a lot of people aren’t packing. You just don’t see it.

I can imagine a scenario where some guy and his friends do some hog hunting on someone's land. A stop at a cvountry convenience store might take placve before or after. "Constitutional Carry" means that no one gets arrested for still having a handgun on their belt.

Now there are exceptions, exemptions and wrinkles in Texas law that might apply. I do not know the detiles. . .and I'm not a lawyer so . . . .
