Man uses AR15 to Defend Self, Girlfriend against Masked Home Invader

Michael Bloomberg is an idiot, that goes without saying. Deer don't shoot back.

Michael Bloomberg doesn't believe in self defense for the little people.

He doesn't even believe in self defense for himself. That is why he hires a squad of highly trained operatives to defend him.

He certainly qualifies as a "little people".

Choices, choices... be at the gun range or be in the bedroom with the girlfriend... we really need photos of the girlfriend to better determine if he made the right choice....

[Iscool]

The guy needs to spend some time on the shooting range.

There i s no buttstock. What you see is the recoil buffer.

[circlecity]

I’m sure this apartment was just picked at random.

lol

It would be easy. Look for the stupidest one, the one with blood running out of his butt cheek.

***Sufficient magazine capacity is one. ***

The very reason the 18 shot Henry rifle (1860) became very popular in the last days of the muzzle loaders. It even had a “speed loader” function before the King’s Patent Loading gate was designed.

No such thing as “too many” rounds in a magazine.

If this were in CA, the guy and his girlfriend would have been required to lay quietly on the floor to be executed by the masked home invader.

He dint do nuffin. 😆

[Georgia Girl 2]

So true. How many instances do you read where the cops fire 40 rounds and nobody gets hit.

I think it was Dr Ignatius Piazza that once said when the shooting starts you will perform at no better than about 70% of a regular traing day.

There is no buttstock. What you see is the recoil buffer.

The photo posted chops off the end of the "recoil buffer" making it impossible to see that this is only a recoil buffer.

I can see why he fired 14 shots.

[Cobra64]

The perp was standing in the doorway and the good guy had to fire 14-17 rounds? As for the mag, all mine are 30 rounders, didn’t know there was a greate capacity mag other than a drum mag.

Still, he gets a passing grade on the 1st Rule of a Gunfight: Have a Gun.
Also good he waited and didn't go chicken-walking out and get shot, but there seems to have been an awful lot of shots exchanged. If he was armed with a 12 gage shotgun loaded with BB or BBB (instead of a jacketed .223 short-barrel rifle ), one shot would have done it, and the neighbors would have been safer.

Maybe not the best choice, but it’s nice to have a gun, any gun, in a life or death situation like that was.

But in close quarters? A short barreled 12 ga pump shotgun would be a show stopper.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I think that is what my next build will be.

[Shane]

I disagree, it’s not the gun, it’s the man behind the gun. You have got to master your weapon. To many people believe that you can just point and pull the trigger.

[familyop]

Look who's coming right into small towns and nice suburbs to do business now. Yes, an AR-15 is now a good home defense weapon. Don't be outgunned by these animals or the local dealers supplied by them. They'll assassinate a whole family of a young person who refuses their drugs or other propositions. Get trained, insured and armed.

We have probably only seen a few of many successful self-defense cases involving AR-15s.
