Why do you need a magazine on the same shelf? Do you live in Beirut?

First an AR 15 is down the list for home defense

You are right but I don't own a shotgun right now.

That's actually not true at all. AR-15 is THE go to weapon for home defense

A shotgun is a lot easier to aim at some ranges. It's effectiveness and stopping

Buckshot penetrates pretty deep and will go through drywall easier

Exactly, it didn't talk about shotguns because it was about the 5.56 round

I'm not saying the Ar15 is bad and I don't think the world is flat

What about for home offense?

What's the point of risking it? Why not just lock it up?
mr_thekid

If you've ever loaded an Ar-15 you'd know a kid could not figure it out
Zach Morris

I have, but that's not the point. There are other risks to take into account.

I am not worried about my man card. More about accessibility in the case of self

I think that is fair. But a man should lock up his butcher knives,scissors

Get a gun cabinet or a gun safe. The lower end ones aren't that expensive.

I haven't owned hundreds, and I am sure you are probably older than me

pull the bolt and put it somewhere

That doesn't help me if I need to use it to protect my family though.

If it's hidden in his closet, out of reach, how is that a danger to his kids?

Bigger risk is someone breaking in while you are not home and stealing it.
