My little baby. When I go to bed at night my AR-15 is always in the room and ready to go just in case. Luckily I've never needed to use her.

@dantheclamman Quite a few. It would be far safer than a handgun for example due to improved accuracy (and relatively weak bullets for a rifle). There is a reason it is the most common gun, it performs very well.

@freemo
I really am not attacking you and its your call but this looks like a weapon for long distance offensive combat.

@dantheclamman combat? no one uses weapons for combat. Its for participating in a sport (shooting is a sport at ranges). In all liklihood it will never be used against a person, just like most guns.

Moreover if the scope was ever used outside of a shooting range most AR-15 are used for hunting (mostly small game) due to its excellent design and small caliber bullet.

@freemo
I mean you said you keep it with magazine ready where you sleep. Sounds like not for sport.

@dantheclamman I do, it will be used for self defence in the one in a million chance i need to. But of the thousands of bullets fired so far (and likely into the future) it has all been sport shooting.

Having a gun for home defence,like insurance, is just being a responsible adult. It hardly means that it is the primary function of the gun, just one of the many benefits should it ever be needed.
