An AR15 type firearm offers many advantages for defense of self and home. Sufficient magazine capacity is one.

Not a great choice in an apartment due to over penetration. I’ll take a Glock 21 with one of the Korean extended magazines, which I’ve found quite reliable.

Still, he gets a passing grade on the 1st Rule of a Gunfight: Have a Gun.

So who is responsible for repairing all the holes in the walls, the renter or the apartment complex?

I have wondered that, myself. Is the repair and clean up covered by insurance?

What is an AR15 pistol? The picture in Ammoland shows a rifle.

Had to look, the name threw me. He was just getting his life together with Bible Study and Junior College.

Good for the resident but, 14 rounds? He needs some tactical defensive training..

Reporter is likely an ignoramus - more likely the “pistol” in question was a pistol grip on said rifle.

Given combat statistics, he did pretty well.

Everything changes when the target is shooting back.

AR15 style rifle with a shorter than 16” barrel and no butt stock (originally ;^). The advent of the “arm brace” made them a lot more useful. The arm brace is intended to fit over your forearm while shooting the pistol, but it works against your shoulder also.

Basically a way to have a sort of short barreled rifle w/o the Federal registration and $200 tax. A true butt stock is nicer, but then the $200 and registration...

The home defender estimated he fired between 14 and 17 rounds

Marksmanship aside, in either California or New York this fellow would have had the bolt lock back at 10 rounds - whereupon the perp would have calmly walked up and shot them both.

..the gunfight continued into the living room

Not my gunfight. No need to chase down an armed man, after you've successfully plugged him a few times.
