I've tried to be. I've shot several AR's owned by friends and while neat and fun, I just don't really get the attraction other than having one just because. I've come close to buying one myself several times. Offered trades here and at other boards for them. Sold several weapons with the intent of using the funds raised to buy an AR, but alas still haven't. I did buy a Keltec PLR-16 a couple weeks ago because I've always found them interesting. Once I got it home I realized I had a case of buyers remorse. This was after investing a little over 700.00 in the gun, keltec tacticool accessories, mags, and ammo. So what am I doing with the Keltec? Trading it for another 870, plus some of course....
Yep, that's right, I've come to the undeniable conclusion that when it comes to HD or SHTF weapons I am a shotgun guy. I've known this intuitively for some time. I've never been in the military so AR's and other black rifle type weapons aren't that familiar feeling or "second nature" to me. I've hunted almost all my life though, so put a pump action shotgun, bolt gun, or lever gun in my hands and I feel well taken care of weapon wise. I'm also a handgunner too so I'm set in that dept.
For those of you who are into AR's and AK's and FAL's and the like, God bless you and keep you and may the politicians keep their hands out of your gunsafes. Unfortunately I cannot be one of you because they just don't do it for me and I just don't do it as well with them. I'll stick with the shotguns. Yes some of them will have the extended magazines, folding stocks and other features that will continue to PO the anti's and I'll do my part to continue to fight the fight. But I'm shotgunner at heart and I suppose I always will be.
