    I have home protection, but I don't have an AR-15. I do have a friend that has a bunch of 'em... If I can make it to his house, when the SHTF, then we will use his.

      I did not think I wanted one or needed one until I bought one. I bought it out of fear that I would not be able to own one in the future. However, now that I have one it has become one of my favorite weapons. I use it for plinking, hogs, dogs, and other pests. I never was a plinker until I bought an AR. It is akin to shooting a 10/22, so much fun that you don't want to stop. In addition once you start the wife the and kids want in on the action which I think is good thing. As far as expense, I shoot a M&P Sport 1/9 that shoots almost all types of 55 grain projectiles the same. It costs me $.37 per round for wolf gold, or up to $.50 per round for Hornaday soft points. For what I hunt these projectiles work fine. This is not nearly as expensive as 25-06 which is what I have traditionally shot. 25-06 ammo generally starts at $1 per round. I still love my 25-06 and definitely use it for deer and larger, but I do not carry it as much anymore.

      An AR is not my first choice for home defense for some of the same reasons stated above. I use a Winchester 12ga. pump that I have had since I was kid and a revolver for home defense. However, I sleep so hard, my family jokes I will likely never know what hit me

      Have fun and be safe.

        I didn't get into the AR crazy until 2008 and now I have close to a dozen.

            I shot a sniper buddy's AR10 this weekend and now I want one worse than I did before! It's on my list.

                Don't see the need for one. Especially for home protection. The one time I used one for pig hunting I sprayed about 20 rounds into the herd and found nothing but blood trails heading away from the feeder. Back to the 30.06 for me.

                    I don't own one, but it's not for lack of wanting one

                    A 6.8 will he my next firearm

                      I don't own one because I just simply prefer a bolt action for hunting or hunting with my bow. I don't feel that I need one for home defense and have nothing against anyone else having one. It's just not something I prefer. All I have is a few rifles and I don't need a large collection.

                        I would never own one of those evil, murdering assault rifles, my gubment says they illegal.

                        Id own "a few" if I had the choice though

                          I don't own one, but I have shot them. They just seem rather clunky to me. I prefer the lines of a light bolt action.

                            I don't own one anymore. I had one years ago, probably in 2005 or 2006, sold it and probably won't ever own another one. No real reason I guess.
