I check every single one of those boxes. I live in a US Forest Service designated wilderness area. I have zero neighbors. Check. Protect animals from depredation. Check. 10 miles from the US/ Mex border in a highly (immigrant) travelled valley. Check. Sherif and Border Patrol takes more than 30 minutes to respond. Check.
If you want guns taken away from apartment dwellers then they get taken away from me too.
Also, I want equal to, or greater if can be had, firepower than any entity coming at me. Everyone seems so concerned about taking guns away from law abiding citizens but no plan to take them away from the bad guys.[/QUOTE
Save it for the parents of those babies slaughtered at that kindergarten
I never mentioned taking any legal firearms away from law abiding citizens
You brought that up
All I stated and my thoughts come not from anti gun people but from law enforcement and my 6 years in the military plus many of those years assisting the troop armorer that a AR type weapon is not my choice of weapons for home protection we’re houses are closely grouped together
Out of all the police officers,gun owners
I know not one would use that type of firearm in a suburban type setting

You haven't been to Texas!!! Wad cutters and other expanding type bullets don't go far after they hit an obstacle (person).
 
All my handguns are loaded with hollow points, unless I'm target shooting. I have some 5.56 hollow points for my AR, but I'm not sure how effective they are.

Here you can carry a 6" blade. Don't know about the gun laws here but I know there are a lot of illegal ones here that the punks have. Trouble is our judicial system is a joke. For example... a guy in Toronto had a stolen car and he deliberately ran over a plain clothed cop and killed him although he identified himself and he's out on bail right now. How do you spell DUH!!!!

Not as effective as my 7.62 hollow points

Certain situations I’d own AR
Protecting livestock,living near border crossing in the southern part of the country
Remote rural areas
Or if your just a firearm enthusiast
If you live close by other houses in a suburban area a firearm such as any of these semi auto AR type weapons are a poor and irresponsible choice of home protection

Any high powered rifle, and many handguns also fall into that category. The majority of the rifles in my collection are considerably more powerful than my AR’s. I have always promoted a 12 gauge, pump shotgun, with birdshot as the best home defense weapon, for the very reasons you stated. Number one, simply working the action on a pump shotgun will usually stop a perpetrator in his tracks. If forced to fire, at close range, the birdshot is plenty affective, but will not penetrate a wall, and retain enough energy to kill someone in another room, or outside a house.

Getting hit by buck shot or bird shot is stunningly painful. I don't know of many "home defense" shotguns that are single shot. One shot to the face and the guy would be blind and in agony. One shot to the groin would be devastating!! I wouldn't use a shotgun but that's just me.
 
I had a freind that was a little crazy. We were target shooting at a target mounted to a large tree. We had fun shooting with our regular guns (22s and 38s and 9mms) but I consistantly beat him at hitting the bulls eye. He got mad and pulled out his shot gun. This guy trained to be a navy seal so he was pretty tough. He approached the tree with his shotgun and got about 6 feet away and shot the target. The pellets bounced off the tree and hit him in the legs. He quickly fell to his knees and cried out in pain. He layed there for about 5 min until he could walk again. The pellets left noticable marks on his legs with a little bleeding. No pellets entered his skin but the impact of all the pellets crippled him for a good while. That was with pellets that had bounced off of the tree, a direct shot would have been much, much more painful. So .............a shotgun may not kill a person but you'd be suprised at the pain that a shot gun can inflict!!

A Navy Seal?

Yes, if i remember the story correctly.......he went through all the training but flunked out near the end when he had to swim from one mile out in the ocean. He busted his nose when he jumped out of the boat and had so much blood in his sinuses that he wasn't able to finish in the alloted time. He was fearless and he was a great friend. I remember going to his house where he raised nothing but posionous snakes, including the Krait snake.
 
If you google Randy Lee and the "That's Incredible" show from the 70s/80s you'll find that he was bitten by one of his Krait snakes. No one had ever survived a Krait snake bite and he was the first to survive. They say that a Krait snake bite can kill an Elephant that's why no human had ever survived a bite from that snake. He only survived because another snake enthusiast had been injecting himself with Krait snake venom and had natural antibodies. They did a blood transfusion that saved my friend's life. He lost part of his finger but he lived. Randy only made it on the "That's Incredible" show because he survived the Krait snake bite.

Racking the slide is the worst thing you can do

1 it gives away your position
2 it reduces your ammo by 20%

IF I have to shoot the SOB up close with a shotgun, it will make little difference of #9 birdshot or 00 buck!!!

Buck shot will most likely kill the guy,
but birdshot (at close range) would inflict so much pain he would wish he was dead!!

Like I’ve always said you harass any of my family, you go to the cops because they’ll protect you, they’ll be the least of your worries

Both at close range are deadly. Difference is, buckshot will penetrate a wall, and possible kill someone in an adjoining room, where birdshot won’t.
 
Back to original subject......the 50s and 60s generation. I wouldn't trade it for anything, we gave the world mini skirts and hot pants!!!!:
