    I need a gun like that for the same reason the military and law enforcement needs a gun like that. It's because it works so well. There is a reason the military does not use double barrel shot guns but rather chooses to use a real weapon.

    I bought mine to shoot, which I don't do enough of lately but hopefully that will change soon. I also Bought it to learn the platform, see what makes it tick.
    And lastly I bought it just because I can.

    Why an AR?

    Saw a video today where the final parting thought in answer to Shotgun Joe, the Skeetshooter and the Gun Runner's claims that you don't need an AR:

    Let's put the anti-gun folks at the Mexican border and when the drug cartels come to get you because they think you are a threat, you can choose one of the following to protect yourself:


    1) cell phone
    2) revolver
    3) AR-15

    Which one would Joe B., the POTUS and the AG choose if their guards weren't around?

    I bought mine initially as a "Katrina gun" as it doesn't take much to bring out the worst in society. Now it's for SD, SHTF and all other legal purposes. I enjoy range time and training for work.

    "Why "zombies"? Because calling it 'training to stop a rioting, starving, panicking, desperate mob after a complete governmental financial collapse apocalypse' is just too wordy." or in light of current events: "training to stop a rioting, looting, molotov cocktail throwing, skinny jeans wearing, uneducated bunch of lemmings duped by, or working directly for, a marxist organization attempting to tear down America while hiding behind a race-based name"

    I use my Colt 6920 for multi purposes, I hate having to switch rifles for different scenarios. Mines rigged up for, varmints, self defense, SHTF and target practice.

    A basic rifle is far more versatile than many shooters give them credit for. A 16" carbine with MOE furniture, Aimpoint, Weapon light and sling can do many tasks from self defense to plinking to hunting. Iron sights have been in use since the black powder days, even for the hunting of small game. A non-magnified RDS is at least as good as a set of iron sights.

    An AR doesn't need specialized barrel profiles, certain barrel lengths or trick triggers to do any job (not that "tricking out" a rifle isn't fun ).

    A carbine with a scope isn't as effective on long range prairiedog sniping as a 24" rifle for example, but with specialty also comes limitations

    It's not as bad as it is made out to be.

    Everything I have is basic. S&W, LMT, Stag, basic quality guns. I don't feel a bit embarrassed when folks show up with their Noveske's, etc, etc. The only nice guns I have are two Dakota rifles, even those guns are basic calibers, a 25-06 and a 30-06. Other than those two, everything else is plain and basic.

    Do you have yours to shoot, hunt with or just to have? (Some combo could be true as well)
    "to have and hold?"...'till death do ye part...
