I recently learned that the state where I’m from considers a baton a deadly weapon so it can’t be purchased as a means of defense, but an Ak-47 is perfectly fine to purchase AND open carry.

    Great gods. I guess the AK is considered a hunting rifle or a paperweight?

    I'm tempted to ask if you're from the South, since this is exactly the garbage that too much of the region would champion. But honestly, the upper Midwest seems just as bad when it comes to "Muh guns!"

    To be fair I'd have a hard time concealing my ak47. It doesn't get fired much, ammo is expensive. Most of my ammo is for shotties and the .22 for putting down nuisance and injured animals.
