Going to buy our first AR today. (Dad and I have separate collections but do most of our shooting together) Most likely going to get a .22 conversion or the S&W version as a starter.
I'm no mall ninja, those guys are tools. I want a gun that I have thought of as something "cool" since I was very young. The good news is, unlike most things that are cool, the AR/AK/etc... are incredibly useful. If I were to discuss my reasons for buying one with anybody on this website, or any friends/family who are generally interested in guns and shooting sports, the conversation will be very different than if I'm talking to a stranger or someone who has some sort of motive behind asking me about it, they're going to get a short, simple response that I know they won't argue with.
Somebody else mentioned explaining a 4x4 to a guy driving a hybrid, why waste your breath? I'm not going to explain to a guy in a prius why its so nice to have 4-wheel drive, he'll figure it out in a week or two when it starts snowing. All I need to tell him is, "It's convenient and I use it for work" but if a friend asks why I chose a GMC instead of a Ford, Dodge etc, its a different conversation.
