My particular situation would be if a BIG quake hits and all the roads are blocked. In that case, depending where I am it might take a day - or two - to walk home. There, in addition to a "get home bag", a small rifle/handgun could be used to shoot food or for defense. A .22 rifle is far more...

I went back and checked, and the OP never said that it was a handgun... just sayin'

I thought it would be good to have one in the car, especially if you work far from home. Around SoCal, it's not out of the question that you might have to walk a LONG way home in th event of The Big One (I'm assuming everyone already has a Get-Home Bag.) On the other hand it would suck having it...

When someone gets shot (here in the U.S.) it always seems to involve: late night, partying, alcohol/drugs, and testosterone. Part of me feels sorry for them, but I can't help wondering what they were thinking, putting themselves in situations with a high likelihood of that happening? What...

Another advantage of a simi-auto is that there's no rack to slide, making it more user-friendly to family members if need-be.

Not going to happen. I think the guns on the WWII battleships only went 20 miles or so :P

Just be cautious about accepting the data as conclusive. As has been reported many times, how it hits, what's being worn, and shot placement can override how it appears to do in a block of gel.

MachIVshooter, I agree with everything you said, but reloading is something of an exception in today's nanny culture. That is, you do have to be careful, and you do have to concentrate, and you do have to doublecheck everything. We simply aren't conditioned to do that anymore and instead expect...

A surprising amount of AR15 "grenadage" though I guess it's just due to how many are in use. Out of all the incidents, I wonder how many were due to incorrect reloads.

Yup. Think of being in someone's home and offering advice to another guest at the dinner table about the meal that the host is serving.

Unfortunately, when seen from countries where it is a big deal, yes it is.

Odd the differing answers. I have to side with USPS working okay for me, but I also agree that the on-line tracking is just barely above useless. Oh, it tells you where it WAS just fine, and seems to run about a day behind. As was said above, I've received stuff and the tracking info still...

No. It's about the most stupidly thought-through advertising stunt ever, and regardless how much money they make, it gives gun-owners yet another blackeye.

Why even ask, either you're okay with it or you aren't? People carry at church which seems roughly the same.
