[QUOTE="BryanDP, post: 2910649, member: 1111"] Thanks for the info. For myself I have admittedly never really considered an AR for home defense but I'm very comfortable with them so this is something to think about. I really do not enjoy shooting a 12 gauge shotgun at all and find it almost difficult to recommend one to others, but for cost vs. effectiveness it's a good choice. Personally I have a pistol ready to go at the house for this purpose. This isn't for me. I have a few 500s and I agree they're a good choice. The problem is sending someone who is not particularly gun savvy out in the wilderness to find a good deal on a used gun. I'm afraid the used market would be somewhat intimidating for someone who doesn't know guns. This is a great point. I can shoot an AR way better than I can a pistol. I really don't like a shotgun for anything I need other than snakes out in the country and the last several times I've used my Judge for that. Also, thanks for the link. I'll give a read soon! So if they go that route the Stevens isn't total crap? That's my main concern....having them spend $190 when another hundred would have gotten them something considerably better. I'm intrigued by the AR arguments here. I doubt my friends would be interested in that but I certainly am now! Thanks everyone for your insight! Bryan [/QUOTE]
