Clueless about guns... Question about guns. Is it cool to carry a weapon in public thats cocked or whatever? Even if the safetys on?

Depends on local, mostly state laws, on carrying guns.  Most states have some sort of concealed carry.


Cocked and locked completely depends on what kind of gun you are carrying.  Only handgun I wouldn't carry "cocked" is a double action revolver.

Open carry (someone else can see it) is legal in most states, but people freak out in urban areas so it's not recommended.  Check your local laws.

Concealed carry (nobody can see it) is legal in almost all states with a permit, and some states without a permit.  Again, check your local laws.

Like Bird said, carry condition isn't a legal matter but a safety matter.  All guns are designed to be carried with a round chambered, but the safeties/cocked or not depend on the individual gun.

I've never handled the M&P 40 3.5" but the full size one I shot was pretty nice.  I do own a 4.5" M&P .45 though and it's been a great gun.

I probably would as well.  M&P's aren't very expensive as it is so I'd just start setting money aside for one.

i have money thats not an issue. i dont care for the sights on the steyr anymore and the week aftermarket doesn't help much either. no matter what i get for the steyr ill make money on it. the owner of the shop that i did the ppt offered me 100 more than i paid for it when i picked it up. i want something easier to carry around with a decent aftermarket thats not a glock. wouldn't  mind a performance center 327 either but ill buy a decent 1911 before i drop 1200 on a revolver

Well, I've decided to start saving up for an AR. Problem is I know very little about them. Whats the best way to go on a budget, what brand, etc.? All help is appreciated.

buy one that is pre built. start at BCM and work your way down to stag arms.
Or you can also go with a Daniel Defense and be top notch and good price.
seeing as you are new the ar15 platform i would make sure you stick to a DI upper vs a GP upper.

took a look at daniels defense and those are awesome. out of my price range though. i'm looking for something in the neighborhood of $700 or so. I can get bushmasters and a few others here for that price. i do know i want a carbine though.

just know a carbine is going to need little things replaced sooner than later. Because the DI stroke of a carbine makes it wear faster. ( shorter stroke of the bolt. ) also remember you get what you pay for when it comes to guns. if you can save a little more then do so and get a DD.. Bushy stuff isnt bad but its none stock run of the mill stuff. also I would if i were you try to avoid delton stuff. Im kinda a snob when it comes to AR stuff but  you gotta pay to play..
check my sig for my ar..
