I need an M-1A .308
I did not even want one until it looked like Hillary might get elected.
Extremely nice rifle, which variant do you want?
The 16” SOCOM is sweet.
Anyone who denies this is either ignorant or a liar ...
Well, if an AR-15 is nice, an AR-47 must be a lot better, because it’s a higher number.
And where does the AK-15 fit in?
Sorry but I don’t need to try and justify why I may need an AR. The government does not cpnvey anything to me that God Almighty has already given me.
I greatly value our 2nd Amdnt rights, but personally, I don’t know much about guns. I’m not going to pretend to know, certainly not on this site, where most posters have a great deal of arms experience. My Dad kept two shotguns in the linen closet, but we kids were threatened into not messing with it. Ever. None of us 4 were trained on arms.
I got a little exposure in Navy Boot Camp, but not a lot. Everything was tightly choreographed. Every man did the exact same thing at the exact same time. You did not deviate!
All that being said, I was close to enrolling in a Pistol Safety Course in February 2020, and then....COVID hit, and the curtain dropped on most all similar activties, especially for basic training.
Maybe by February of 2022, certain activity groups will be back in operation.
The dog faced pony soldier uses the AK-15 ;-)
Remember, you don’t “need” a Gun until you really need a Gun.
Best answer to the question, “why do you need an AR-15?”
“It’s a secret.”
Do not fire until you see the whites of their eyes and then fire a shotgun.
The shotgun of course has a 20” barrel and #3 or so shot.
Not sure where you are located, but firearms training never stopped in my area, even when other businesses were shuttered. I highly encourage you to pursue your training. Stay safe.
.308 is fine, but never discount the 30-06. For more than 100 years it is still one of the most effective rifle cartridges.
I’m in Marin County, north of San Francisco.
Ok, yep, you are probably still on lockdowns for groups. I used to teach (as a hobby, not my full time job) at Reeds Indoor Range in San Jose with a gentleman who owns a retirement business train2besafe.com. The owner is Bill. You can look him up. His classes were shutdown with most of the other businesses. I have been in touch with him off and on through the shutdowns and I know he wants to start up again, but your lovely Governor seems reluctant to allow it yet.
The role of government isn’t to control the people. The role of government is to enforce laws that protect your constitutional rights. And if they fail to do that, the people must be able to protect their own rights.
...Psssst...Hey, buddy....I know a guy....
