@JonKramer The AR is great for farms and a lovely rifle to fire.. There is a reason its the most popular weapon in the US

@freemo , yep. The perfect varmint gun, really. Cheap to buy, cheap for ammo, large enough calibre that you can hunt small game, pretty accurate. I am seriously considering an SU16, by KelTek. I know, they have a bad rep, but that weapon seems to be an exception to the rule.

@JonKramer next time I buy a gun just for the cool factor (I dont really need anymore) it will be a P90s

@freemo , as a Stargate fan, I agree. :)

@freemo, what I don't have anymore is a good rifle. I had an AR way back in the day, like the early 80s. And always kinda wanted another. But anymore, I just hate the stigma around them, even if it is totally unjustified. So, I'll stick with the 556, and a different style. Once the bullet comes out, it really doesn't matter what the rifle looks like.

@JonKramer I mean there are plenty of guns that perform as well or even better than an AR and of similar performance... but your right the stigma is entirely arbitrary and silly.

@JonKramer I should have said "and of similar specification"

@freemo , another on my list, and I will only get one, is the Henry AR7. 22 long rifle, and incredibly lightweight. But... I am that aberration... I once came out my door to find my yard full of pigs. I seriously feared for my life. And a 22 probably wouldn't have done the trick. As it was, I had NOTHING, and ran for my car.

@JonKramer The thing I love about guns is there are different guns for different purposes... your fear of pigs is a very different motivation than my fear of mob bosses :)

@freemo Yep! For mob bosses, I suggest something long range...

@JonKramer well im more worried about them kicking in my door and killing me.. so short range is where we are at mostly.

@freemo Shotgun. although your 410 will do it, I suggest a 12 gauge.

@JonKramer yea i was thinking about that.. here is the thing, a shot gun, like my AR, is large and bulky.. if im in bed the time it takes me to get one in hand and aimed is much longer than a handgun.. so I figured the judge might be a better choice

@freemo , a Streetsweeper is a big pistol, with 12 rounds, semi auto, and it's kinda cuddly.

@freemo They make short shotguns with pistol grips that are made for home defense. Just know the recoil on those things will be more significant than any long shotgun.
