Someone please explain the logic or desire to use an AR for a home defense weapon. I see a great disconnect between form, function, capability and liability exposure.
So you are saying that an AR has more risk than a handgun?

I've actually been thinking about getting a suppressor for any of my guns. I think my dream HD "rifle" is something in .300 Blackout with a suppressor because of how quiet it is for a rifle suppressed.

Do you leave your mags loaded for 3-4 months or more, say??
So you are saying that an AR has more risk than a handgun?
- Grossly superior terminal ballistics to any handgun and in some cases, shotguns
- Easier to get hits
- Easier to get lots of hits in rapid succession
- Less likely to penetrate through common building materials and exit the home than common defensive pistol rounds
- Easy to mount a white light for verifying threats
- etc.
I haven't put pencil to paper but I'm thinking a 55 gr FMJ 5.56 and its cross section leaving the the muzzle at some 3200 ft a sec is going through more sheetrock than a handgun until you start getting past .44 magnum.

I have a 30 round mag in the gun and another in a buttstock pouch. On my work rifle I have a 20-rounder in the gun and a 30 in the pouch.
