Just a fun thought experiment at close of business on a Friday. I don’t usually indulge this type of silly stuff, but a conversation about business operational risk management versus inventory cost management today - for some reason - hit me squarely upside of my “gun brain,” and I thought it might elicit some interesting discussion.
Parameters:
• Home defense on a budget
• Relatively remote area
• Any one of those scenarios people like to discuss such your choice is an AR-15 carbine with irons, red dot, or LPVO
• No other purpose specified for the rifle(s)
• Solitary person (context for which makes sense later)
Given these options only, would you consider yourself better armed with:
A) A single $700 AR-15
B) Two identical $350 AR’s
Which of these two options, and why?
ETA:
• Optics not included in price. Dealers choice of optics, but consider the same optic is used on all rifles. Not giving an unfair advantage to two rifles by using two different optics (relatively different purposes)
• Consider both price classes are bound by the same purpose design. Whatever the HD/SD AR should look like in your mind is effectively, within the budgetary constraints both classes would look like, i.e. comparing a pair of $350 mil-clone-ish 16” Carbines to a $700 mil-clone-ish 16” carbine.
