>>2610884Depends on the state and the trail. If it's a normie trail it would probably not be a good idea, even in a good state. In my state almost every person is packing guns when out hiking on non-normie trails (or camping), and usually has backups in the car to. I've hiked with my rifle slung over my shoulder several times, and I literally never leave the house without my EDC. Even if it's out of season it's perfectly legal to OC and even CC a rifle in my state, in public and the outdoors. Non-cucked western state.
>>2610936Other way around bud. It's mostly just retarded midwestern and eastern states that do not allow .223 for hunting deer. ARs also come in literally a dozen different calibers.
