Of all my guns the only one that can really be calssified as a toy, or there for entertainment sake, is the AR. I like it because it is an exact copy of what I used in the USAF in the 70's.
But here are some negatives;
1. It is NOT legal for hunting in my state.
2. Being an AR it is finicky about lubing and ammo. (does jam too often)
3. It uses way lots of ammo at a faster rate than my other long guns. (nature of the semi with large magazines)
The thing is, AR's look cool but don't seem to be much practical. I am not one who believes we will ever need to hit the woods with survival gear in hand. It could happen but I doubt it.
I honestly believe that there are much better home defense weapons.
I will keep it. I am just not sure why. Just because of memories I guess. I suppose that is a good enough reason.
What do you think?
