Must be where you grew up.....a rifle slung over one’s back isn’t a problem for me, particularly a bolt action rifle.
If you want to see “odd”, try coming up to my Walmart here in North Georia....there’s some “odd” people that would give you the willies....better yet, try the “people of Walmart” sites on the web.
ALSO, again, someone please provide me a link or verification this man had ARMOR plating in that vest. From what I’ve seen and the type of utility tac vest he was wearing, it most likely didn’t have ARMOR plates. They are expensive and not real easy to get. If he was using grandpa’s 303 and not an AR/M-4 or an AK clone, he likely couldn’t have afforded the plates that go in the vests...
To the media, any rifle is an AK, any vest is ARMORED...BS.
I referred to the vest as being armored. I am probably wrong. Maybe it is considered a bulletproof vest but not armored.
I wonder if this guy goes for a walk every three weeks or every day. Just curious.
