[QUOTE="POKE1911, post: 2977018, member: 24536"] I don't think an AR would make the most effective HD weapon. Unless you lived in the country or on an acre or two and could see a situation in which you were needing to shoot 30-50+ yards out. While it's an effective round most HD situations would be well within shotgun or pistol range... with the added size, weight and bulk of an AR over a pistol. I think the cons would out weigh the pros. A pistol allows you to move about the home with greater ease, keeping a hand free to open doors, carry a flashlight, a cellphone, a kid... while still being able to effectively fire and defend yourself. A shotgun is just point and shoot. A suppressed SBR 300 BO could give you versatility especially if you feel you'd be having to shoot distance to protect yourself. Now an SBR subgun could be an interesting twist. Like the MPX, Kriss Vector, EVO S3. [/QUOTE]
