  the victim claims he didn't know his attackers. I seriously doubt that. And I'm sure the cops do too. Random home invasions are very rare.

  I note that she only fired one shot. Nothing special about an AR-15 in being able to do that. My lever action .35 rem could have handled that (and had 7 more rounds too boot) .

And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still.'" Ronald Reagan

  Wait a second I thought AR15s are useless because they can't be used for home defense.

  So you think shooting your friend is home defense?

  Well yeah. Because after the one shot they ran out the door. If they would have stayed I'm sure multiple shots would have been fired.

  How do you compare an accident to self-defense?
  That article isn't even an apples to apples comparison.

  If I had a choice between a glock 45, a 12g riot style shotgun, or an AR, to defend my property from any possible scenario. I'd choose an AR. If you're preparing for anything, it's hard to beat an AR. That's a fact. I don't own one, but I understand why people do. It's really cheap and highly effective insurance.

  Actually it is because you are more likely to kill a friend or relative than defend your home with one.

  Can I invoke Mudinger on this?

  Ha. Well, technically it’s something more than opinion. So yes you can.
