Anyone who believes that an AR-15 is the most dangerous weapon that a patriot owns doesn’t have a clue.
What would you recommend in it's stead?
While I'll freely admit I don't own an AR (not of fan of DI), I have shot them. The ergonomics, customizability, and usability of the platform are nothing short of spectacular!
I can think of nothing I'd rather carry into an unspecified engagement (provided it was one of the newer gas piston variants).
