Home Defense with an AR-15: What You Need to Consider.

13 minutes

I honestly think that I would chose my AR15 when it comes to home defense. If it was the middle of the night and my wife and I activated our threat plan I am almost 100% confident I would be pulling my AR15 our of the gun safe to use.

Here are a some elements to consider if you would make the same choice, or if you are not sure what choice you would make.

An AR-15 is a popular choice for home defense for several reasons:

Firepower: The AR-15 is a semi-automatic rifle that can hold a large number of rounds in its magazine, giving the user more firepower than a handgun.

Accuracy: The AR-15 is designed with a long barrel and a detachable stock, which makes it easy to aim and shoot accurately.

Customizable: The AR-15 is a modular weapon, which means that it can be customized with different sights, grips, and accessories to suit the user's needs.

Versatility: The AR-15 can be used for a variety of purposes, including home defense, hunting, and target shooting, making it a versatile option for those who want to own a firearm for multiple reasons.

Familiarity: Some people may already be familiar with the AR-15 from previous hunting or shooting experience, which can make it easier to use in a home-defense situation.
