I have an AR pistol, Anderson lower and a PSA 11.5 inch upper, Romeo 5 red dot. Nothing fancy or expensive but it will work well for my purposes. Finally got to shoot it today and really, really like the thing. I've heard they were loud and even with foam ear plugs and ear muffs it was LOUD! Surprised at the accuracy considering it isn't the most stable platform for precise shooting but for defensive uses, it and I won't have any problem with minute of body. I had never really thought that an AR pistol was anything more than a novelty toy but it is so maneuverable and light, even with an 11.5 inch barrel. I definitely can see the self defense capability and usefulness of this gun. Color me happy and impressed.

Your a great American.

earmuffs near bedside will help reduce that, no matter what gun is used.

I'm not sure I'd want to greet the police with a set of ear muffs on my head after I disposed of a deserving burglar-but I'm one that doesn't fully trust the "justice" system after having served thirty years in it. Think St. Louis and a law-abiding couple being charged with a felony for merely "brandishing" their weapons in the face of a mob threatening their life, limb and home.

you're just not aware, and training even mild training will alleviate this. when you empty your hands of your gun before greeting the police you can be trained to remove your ear muffs from your head too. while many rightly don't trust the "justice" system, there is a world of difference in using a gun inside of your home after a criminal has forced their way in and confronting them while they are on the street and you leave the relative safety of your home to go out in your yard. that too can be trained out of you.

Yeah, you agree then it would be prudent to hide the muffs when the police start looking for a reason to charge you with the crime of defending your home. Again, review the pending case in St. Louis referenced for a reality check on the state of today's America's notion of what constitutes "jurisprudence".
 
Greet the police with earmuffs on. Ok...just...take them off maybe? What if U R in your underwear...

....this can be gamed out 2,571 ways.

''Officer,I need to go to the hospital I have been exposed to loud noise.'' When there, tell the physician you need steroids to help alleviate (not eliminate) the potential damage to your hearing. Source: my ENT specialist who has been interviewed on Good Morning America. REMEMBER: at that point, you are repeating at least part of your story to different professionals, alllllll that is discoverable, and you can bank on the police will ask the physician what you said in relation to the case. And NO that is NOT a violation of HIPPA -- not asking treatment, asking what U said about the bang incident...

Or.... maybe...ummm....

...Is it easier to just put the muffs on I guess:p. Ohio? Castle Doctrine? Inside the house? U R gtg in the EXTREMELY UNFORTUNATE DISASTER of having to defend yourself INSIDE YOUR DOMICILE.
 
The problem with the ar pistols, at least for me is they keep multiplying. Started off with a couple 300 B and then got a 450 bush and a 50 wulf. Great truck guns, home defense, range toy.

We don't always live in a world we want or need. We live in the real world, the one where logic and reason can occupy precious little place in a courtroom, a milieu where the person who was defending their "castle" is, in many if not most cases, going to be the target of the leftist criminal prosecutor and/or the bottom-feeding plaintiff's lawyer in a civil lawsuit. You come to the door with muffs atop your head or draped around your neck to greet the responding police after you've shot a home-invader; trust me, you're not going to make a favorable impression. If you hide the muffs, assuming you have the time and wit to do so and are later found out, things will only go worse for you. It doesn't take much imagination to hear the da/plaintiff's lawyer assert, "He (the castle defender) was more concerned about his hearing than he was about taking the life of a black teenager, "armed" with a water-pistol, who accidentally entered the wrong house (even if he used a crow bar to do so).

To be clear, I have no problem whatsoever with a victim wanting to save their hearing by donning a set of muffs before encountering an intruder and possibly having to shoot them; I have no desire to be a pioneer (in my thirty years of le, I've never heard of an incident where the home owner had the presence of mind to take such an action) in this self-defense stratagem. And if I were so unlucky to have been caught trying to salvage what little hearing I have left by employing earmuffs in the anticipation of having to shoot someone, I'd argue, "I wear these every night, not just tonight; it's my wife-she snores."
