Hey yinz, I work in a downtown area where there may be riots when things wrap up. I concealed carry (legally) and wear my soft armour but I have a rifle and plates that I am thinking about throwing in the backseat of my truck, with extra mags and ear pro. Meth says I am only making myself a target. Thoughts?

Rifle and plates do make you look like a combatant which can incite the stupid.
Honestly? CCW and a good plan to get home even if you have to walk past riots and crazy shit is your best answer.
Your best weapon is your brain.
Good luck nephew,
If you're really paranoid cover up windows with a line of sight on the goods, That or invest in one of those foldable seats that conceal rifles under em.
Also put a range card in your window
I've found a safety vest and hardhat and NRA and Union sticker on the back of the truck are effective deterrents in racially diverse and trailer park areas.
Don’t leave your Rifle in your back seat openly. I live in rural / suburban Midwest and the local cops say a lot of car break ins happen when burglars see a gun in the car
I considered bringing my rifle to work today (except I lost it in the boating accident of course)
But I ended up going with a 1911 in the satchel because honestly it makes me feel like Indiana Jones
"it makes me feel like I'm Amish"
Fucking Fudd
No no, you don't understand, it's a WWII style MilSpec single stack M1911 with an old fashioned leather drop leg holster. It uses straight diesel fuel instead of CLP
Can your light armor stop .338 Laupa, or is it wish.com garbage?
Leaving anything in a vehicle in an urban area seems like a great way to loose it. You're already plenty prepped- if you cant get to your vehicle and out of the area with whats already on you then you're fucked... Office-issued rifles is the only other option if you want to barricade yourself in for some inane reason?
For clarification, the rifle would be under the bench seat in the back, legally cased and unloaded; out of sight. Same with the plates and other gear, my truck is very nondescript and has heavily tinted windows. My concern is that; I work armed corporate security and am worried that I may be a target. Should things pop off I am responsible for emptying my building of employees then securing the building and then gettingtfo. I am worried that things will grow out of control before I can safely evac my employees and then get myself out.
They might just light your truck on fire too. Take it inside with you somehow. Keep that plate carrier under a hoodie.
Ya I think you might wanna go full boog boi here to scare off the NPC's
Just curious what city are you in that such a fear is real? If Biden wins I’d assume there won’t be riots
I wouldn't be surprised to see celebratory riots. I live in a young "artists" community.
Artists by day, commies 24/7. Massive soy riots when Harris loses.
They’re like lakers fans:
If they win, they riot
If they lose, they riot
Meth is wrong.
You do you to protect yourself, and use prudence to deploy rifle and plates.
Be smart.
