Best Home Defense Rifle?

[Soundguy]

I just got kind of tuckered out with preachers telling me I was going "down under" (not Aussie land) .

Yep.. you deffinately don't want to go down under to drink.. I hear they have lots of bar fights!

....Back on topic. Couple nights ago, all heck broke lose with the dogs upstairs. Ended up going outside, let the sidearm in the house and went out with the AR with a light. Nothing there (at that time at least), but that's what I went for.[/FONT

Curious if you let your dogs patrol, or go out first?

Hmmm, I wonder if that's why those preachers stand outside on the corner shouting that you're going to h e double toothpicks if you drink

I just got kind of tuckered out with preachers telling me I was going "down under" (not Aussie land) if I didn't listen to them. Thats including on how I voted as well.

Didn't you mention you drink alcohol? Well, geuss your going down under in the mind of some men of God around here to boot (no, I sincerely don't think that, but some people do).

Interpretation is an amazing thing. Take Christians. You have some devote Catholics who will swear up and down that the Bible states the Catholic Church is the only REAL church. Wonder why some people would disagree?

Thinking about it, an AR style rifle with a pistol caliber may not be such a bad choice for inside the house as long as you have access to it.



Perhaps a man running at you, however, throw some lead your way and see how you react.

Now that we're into catholic bashing, isn't it time to close this thread?

 

[Soundguy]

Not time to close the thread.. but time to leave politics out.. and religion is just upper end politics.

Yes, best to leave the religion and politics out of it... or it will turn into an R1 VS R4, gear VS hydro, conveyor belt VS magic conveyor belt argument.

And then we'll have to close the thread.

I agree, as litttle as the liklihood of us agreeing on the best home defense rifle is, there is an infinitely less liklihood of us agreeing on all facets of religion.

I need a dog

We'll never all agree on the bestdog either

Had more to say about the superiority of Gear tractors vs HST but the wife is getting close and might see my dog comment. Then I will be in the dog house....

Wait we don't have a dog house! This could get bad!

See Ya!

I drink, but do my best not to get sauced. From what I know of the good book, it doesn't mention not consuming, but it does talk a lot about drunks and drunkeness. The good man himself and all his disciples drank wine. Don't know if they had hard liquor back then, but they did have vino and I believe the first miracle was turning a bunch of urns of water into said vino. It was a wedding, party or something. Anyhow, a lot of the hard core religious sects will say it wasn't fermented. Well, they would have called it "juice" otherwise and not wine! So that argument doesn't hold water with me. I don't feel drinking will send you to the dark side unless it consumes you after you consume it! My .02.

I think an AR15 in a pistol type caliber is a great weapon for inside the home. On Black Friday, I picked up a Colt AR15, 9mm, 32 round capacity. I fired it recently, had some really crummy ammo that was thrown in during the purchase and also shot some CCI Blazer aluminum cased rounds that were given to me by a friend. Both were very dirty and I had a lot of misfires, partial ejects and once I had an attempted stovepipe. Really made the sight-in process terrible. But, it was free and got me on the steel. Since I didn't have anything that fired 9mm up until the AR, I didn't have any quality 9mm ammo. I've since remedied that with a large online purchase.

Here's a video of me shooting the Colt 9mm. My narration sucks and you'll have to fogive my expletives (I'm working on that). This video is after I had already sighted it in for 100 yards. I think the groups would have been better if not for the inconsistent ammo and rapid firing didn't help much either. I also wanted to note that in the video I incorrectly stated "100 meters". It should have been yards. At the end, I did a shoot at 50 yards as well. If you've got 6 minutes to kill...
