How many of you have used your AR for self defense?

[Sonnypie]

Weapons and the accessories are a lot like fishin.

Most of the stuff sold in fishin stores is intended to catch fishermen. Not fish.

I never have; but it happens.

There would have been a different tone to that story if the family was not LE related.

Will I need it? I pray not. Have I used it? Never.

Will I keep it? Of course. Will I allow someone to take it from me? Only after I have assumed room temperature.

I hate that anti-argument: you don't need xxxx, or you'll never use it anyway.

I view any weapon as a matter of civic duty. Every family in America should have an armory, in case we must defend our land or our freedom. We secure our rights through the threat of revolution, and although no one wants to talk about it or admit it, we will (or our children, or our grandchildren, it's only a matter of time) be forced to fight.

An armed man cannot be disarmed, only defeated.

If an AR is all you have for home defense, and you really really really need to, then fire away at your own discretion.

I'm going to AR for my HD. A nice 14.5. Getting rid of my pistols for now. Love love love the ebr. Have never had to use it, but in this age one never knows.

Shotty and pistola is my cup of tea.

It's kalashnikov, not kalashnakov. jesus christ.
