At first glance, you may have read this title and assumed it was going to be about how to discreetly carry your brass knuckles, pocket pistol, and switchblades.
However, even though all of these weapons work well for defense (though it's important to know whether they're legal depending on the state you live in), the topic we're covering today will focus on a different type of “low profile” weapon altogether.
Since our world gets worked up about the wide-reaching so-called dangers of an “assault rifle,” today a low profile weapon is a firearm that most people won't quickly notice. After all, many consider an “assault rifle” to be public enemy number one, right?
To slip beneath the radar and be a clever “gray man,” it's vital to have a weapon that won't necessarily draw attention.
Find out what you should do to keep yourself on the down-low and what kind of weapons you should consider carrying on the slide after the break.

Funny you should post this. I’ve been looking at new firearms to repopulate the ones I had to sell. I was thinking about a lever action 30/30 with a scope. Good article!
You cannot go wrong with a hefty Marlin big bore!
Skip the bigger bores, had a .45-70, about useless after 70 yards. Stick with the 30-30. Got a Winchester and a Marlin.
That’s exactly what I was looking at. That and the Remmington model 783 bolt action. I was babied by the Rossi I had. Just change the barrel to what you’re hunting for instead of buying 3 different guns.
When you compare a lever action to an AR 15 claiming smaller lighter with the same rate of fire. You make it clear you don’t know$#%&!@*about firearms.
No good after 100 yards either.
I’m just saying they shot buffalo at 800 yards with old ammo.
Great article! I’ve ben wanting to get a lever action rifle for some time now. And Mike Hickerson, not trying to start anything, but I think that you need to reread this article. And there is no need to be cheeky!
Check
I read it again. Although I enjoy this site, the author is clearly inexperienced on this subject.
Possibly, I don’t know this guy’s credentials. But I will say that I think that a lever action rifle would be a suitable though lesser alternative to a semi auto should they get banned and snatched.

Didn’t read anything about same rate of fire.
Great article thx.
This article states that a lever action Winchester has close to the same rate of fire as an AR15, has the writer ever held a gun, much less fired one? No credibility.
Bogus article.

I already have these 3 types
I need one I love them rifles , aren’t they called repeating rifles ? Remember the rifleman , and Anthony can you tell mikie I said what’s up and call me like once in a lifetime I miss that dude we were good friends and I hope he is well ..he is a good man
The point is not to be a threat or target.
I see you with old shotgun were talk and shoot the bull.

Just a fact if life.
In tge same since you got a beat uo old gun ni ine wants.you git shinny new ar and someones gonna take it

Under title “Lever Action” 3rd paragraph
The only thing wrong with the marlin guns are that they are old and very hard to find and even harder to find parts .I had to get rid of 2 rifles because I could not get parts to fix them.
Another that I would personally add, that most don’t think of, is a good, quality air rifle. Although they do not have the distance nor the knock-down of a real rifle, at a relatively close range, they are extremely accurate, lightning fast, Super Quiet and do pack enough of a punch to make an Aggressor think twice about advancing their position.
A sling shot, an air rifle, and a bow..
Compares everything to an AR15 and says a pump action shotgun shoots 30-06 …
Good for small game .. Don’t have to waste .22 ammo
Ever been hit with a bb? They FLAT HURT.
These new high powered pellet guns far surpass the power of the bb guns of when I was a teen (70’s-80’s). I would NOT want to be on the down range end of these new guns!
I bought a box of 5000 pellets for my air rifle, which shoots at 1280fps, for 25 bucks. I have over 20,000 rounds just for my backup survival weapon
While the article was wrong that the rifle is a shotgun, Remington did make a pump 30/06. My papaw hunted with one. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/remington-model-7600-pump-action-30-06-springfield-centerfire-24657-41?a=1783591

You do know Marlin is still in production right?I just bought a 336 2 years ago,great gun!
I know a couple of guys who now use air rifles exclusively for$#%&!@*hunting and squirrel hunting. They are deadly on small game.
As a teen that’s primarily all I used on squirrel and rabbit (a Daisy BB gun) and I Never walked away empty-handed.
I have 2 lever action rifles and they are awesome
Everyone has an opinion…..
Ya the lever actions are a great gun but I was talking about the 9m and the 45 semi autos.and since remington bought marlin they have been using plastic parts in the lever actions making them jam up.dont get me wrong I still own a lot of marlin levers they are a great gun.
I have all of these including the ar-15 it says there all better than. So thumbs up for me.
Do you not know the difference between shotguns and rifles? There’s a pretty obvious reason that they do not share the same name.
Sometimes. You need the intimidation factor. The thing is when to know to use it.
