Sold my mini 14 and stepped up to the AR

is a CMMG upper and lower, 16" chrome barrel with 1-9 twist. its pretty damn sweet for a first AR. I shoot with my Son at least once a month, this will give us alot of enjoyment.

my sister is a anti gun person and stated she wont enter my house as long as that rifle is in there. I explained it is locked securely in a gun safe and she visits with all the other guns in the house (locked in the safe)

she persisted, and went on on about its potential deadliness, i explained she needed to get rid of the gas can in her garage and the unsecured knives in her kitchen because of the potential deadliness. i rattled off more examples such as the potential for bodily injury or death we face everyday while driving

oh well.......................she didn't get it


anyway here it is, with and without the carry handle (please excuse the xmas table cloth it does look a bit.........."wrong" for lack of a better term)

They are fun and accurate little rifles...

I picked up a S&W M&P15T a couple years back and don't regret i.

and, yeah, you can't win with anti-gun people... "but it looks so scary, like those guns I see on tv"... and it's "semi-automatic"... press pressure to confuse/scare the masses... when I ask people that are clueless what semi-automatic means, the say "That's a machine gun right??... :rant: :shakehead:

More like, "oh man I know about guns. AK-47 right? Well, why don't you have it? It's the best, everyone I know of that owns guns has it."

Nice gun, I debating whether or not I want to get myself into that. I'm more fascinated about how it all works by opening it up/cleaning it and reassembly.

Was considering taking some of those, what do you call it? Shooting range sessions? Just to see how I feel about them.

I went with a 20" HBAR tac driver and mil-spec sights sans the handle. I have the handle but find it raises your head up and into harms way....IYKWIM.

The sight is a flip up and centers on the 40mm red dot scope I use for close up.
Put a vertical handle on it and some cammo and you are all set.
Have you seen the hydrographic camo kits?

Are you allowed full auto? Is it the 556 or the .22? I wanted one of the .22 calibre M4 variants, but they're not allowed here.

If you have a license to own a full auto weapon it is legal.

You can also get a .22 LR conversion bolt and mag for any AR 15/M4 variants that will allow semi-auto fire.

US only..I don't know about Canadian laws. Mags holding more than 10 rnds are illegal in CA and you need a bullet button too.
Lots of rules here but with a license, you can get what you want mostly.

Yeah - I'm pretty sure I'm SOL on getting any of that up here. The fact that the .22LR M4 looks too much like the real deal would be enough for the gov't to say 'no' to it.

So, here is some food for thought. I used the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) statistical engine to see what they had to say on the subject of "dangerous guns"– and found that according to the CDC in 2005, in the United States, out of a population of 295,895,897 (All Races, Both Sexes, All Ages):

Adverse effects – Medical care Deaths and Rates per 100,000 were 2,309 for a rate of 0.78, while Unintentional Firearm Deaths and Rates per 100,000 were 789 for a rate of 0.27.

Just to introduce a little perspective, I looked at the following:
Overall Motor Vehicle Deaths and Rates per 100,000 were 45,520 deaths for a rate of 15.38

(The above figures are courtesy of the CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control: http://webapp.cdc.gov/sasweb/ncipc/mortrate10_sy.html)

Thus, doctors are more "dangerous" than guns.

To put it another way:

The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000 (Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services)

The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000 (Yes, that’s right, 80 million) (Statistics courtesy of FBI)

Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year: 120,000

Accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups: 1,500

Accidental deaths per physician: 0.171

Accidental deaths per gun owner: 0.000188

So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

Remember, "Guns don’t kill people, doctors do."

That is fantastic! A doctor is 9000 times more likely to kill you. Someone should pass this on to the NRA so they can throw it in the faces of all the anti-gun liberals out there.

Back to the subject of guns themselves....I love my custom ar-15. CMMG flattop upper, bushmaster lower and barrel, utg free float quadrail, eotech 512, streamlight tlr-3 mounted light, CAA "potato" vertical grip. At 25 yards I can chew a 1/2 inch hole into the bullseye. I love my work gun.

I totally agree that the NRA needs to know that statistic. Only one problem most people wouldn't believe it, most people don't want to believe the truth. http://www.600cc.org/forum/images/smilies/surrender.gif

I often wonder what I will grab if someone were to enter my home...

so many choices....

the sound of the shotty is unmistakable (but I only get 5 shots... :rolleyes:)
the menacing look /accuracy and 30rnds of the ar15
the maneuverability of the pistols...

hmm, strap the ar15 to the back, holster the pistol, rack the shotty? :rof:
