AR, even a standard 16" carbine is very maneuverable in a house.

I use a handgun for HD, but an AR is preferable. You have to evaluate the reward vs risk. I have a little one, and I have a small pistol safe next to my bed. Easy, fast access to a secured weapon.

My rifles sit in a safe NOT near my bed, so it would not only take longer to access, I have to fumble with keys or a combination wheel. I just cannot leave my AR out because of the youngin. Trigger locks are a joke.
I'm not blessed with riches, but I am rich with blessings.
Thank you, LORD, my God.

Yeah these are great. Hard to close, but you can just trace a custom cut out for your gun/light/extra mag in the first layer of foam (there are several). Then it locks with relative ease.

I really want to get a gun for HD but I can't afford one right now, plus I live in California, but hopefully I can get one within the next year or so. Both of my next door neighbors have had their houses broken into while they were away, and there have been a quite a few shootings/drive-bys just blocks away from my house.

I have several guns, just don't have one locked and loaded in the house.

Also my house doesn't have 50 foot long rooms, not that great of distance anywhere in the house.
6'6 and a house full of axes not gonna lie bro thats pretty ****ing terrifying lol. I'll still keep my AR though.

California has suffered another defeat, men. Overnight I've gone from a normal, every day citizen to owning over a dozen weapons that CA now considers an assault weapon.

With the swipe of a pen...nothing more, nothing less.

Now, do I retreat? Do I comply? What do I do?

fukkin LMAO @ that poverty ass 5.56. Might as well have a nerf gun for home defense. Just LMAO

If you don't have an intricate system of trip wires attached to 500lb JDAMs on a hairtrigger at every entry point into your home then you are doing it WRONG.

there are 3 of these at 10 foot intervals in my front and back yard right now. LOL @ even letting the intruder get close to your door.

lol @ people who let intruders get close to your front lawn.

I keep a 14 foot perimeter wall around my property, complete with wall-mounted claymores and 24/7 private armed guards operating M2 Brownings

lol if you are actively defending your home when other people can do it for you. Only tradies need to defend their home on their own.

Unfortunately here in Canada we either call the police and hope we don't die, or kill and go to jail. Personally if a home invasion ever happened I would just scare them away with the gun, then call the police. In the rare case that the intruder did have a gun, I could and would legally kill them.

Serious question - Where do you store the AR, and is it actually accessible if some nutter was in the next room walking around with his sawn off?

Also you had to go through paperwork to get it, is that really that big of a deal? Everyone seems to go nuts when you suggest maybe a lethal weapon should need a license or registration? If you still get it (because you're not a career criminal, nut job with glue habbit etc) then is it a problem?

I have a fireaxe for emergencies but it would double as a great weapon.

I don't like the idea of having axes in every room though, the attacker could grab one himself.

I would prefer having a handgun or AR instead of a shotgun, or in addition to it.
