WHY own an AR15?

[OutaAmmo]

I needed one to shoot High Power. My zoombie gun to 600 yards. See ya at Camp Perry.

I want one to just go out and have fun for now, and maybe at a future date use it to compete in target matches.

A-It's the most modular designed combat rifle available, and I like options
B-I can't hit steel targets at 600+ yards with my AK
C-Wait a minute. Why am I explaining this to you? Your not my wife

- Awesome!

I have one and I wonder sometimes why I bought it. It gets no range time and is fairly impractical in the civilian world. My $.02

Why do you think it's impractical in the civilian world? Have you taken any training?

 

[Shootin'IN]

Some people can't find a use for the AR & don't know why they bought one.
I have two & working on my 3rd I realy like pulling the trigger on a gun that hits where I aim it.

Interested in trading or selling it? I'm looking for one I can use for training before I go to OCS. Click here for details.

I would say because of the versital platform. They can do about anything, an the cool factor doesnt hurt,lol

Why would someone want an AR? A single AR may not save you if attacked by zombies. So, I bought a second AR yesterday. I feel better now about my chances of surviving the zombie apocalypse. I just need to order the parts for a Dillon 550 to let me crank out as much .223 as these will eat. They can be expensive to keep fed one box at a time with commercial ammo.

An AR is right up there with Harleys & Jeeps...once you get one, you just wanna go out & buy cool stuff to put on it,

The most truth I have ever read. Currently I have a mildly built Cherokee and a stock Comanche!

Why not own an AR15 is the ??

 

[Larryjr]

Same reason for most (not all) of the guns I own. It's fun to shoot.

When I see a question like this I think of the movie Red Dawn, or something like that. Or maybe something like the Cuban revolution. You do not ever know exactly why you will need it, but it will always be nice to have it just in case.
I think that is why they wrote the second amendment. Isn't there something in there about a well regulated militia?

1. It is one of the most enjoyable rifles I own to shoot.
2. I believe every free citizen has a duty to be prepared to defend what is his/hers, and it fits that requirement better than most others.

I own then for several reasons, for one they are an American classic. Right up there with Chevrolet, 1911's, apple pie and baseball. They are truly American born and bred. I grew up with them, They work. They are very accurate. They are modular. You can build one and not require any machining. Parts are every where. The parts choice's are endless. The are close to the perfect home defense weapon. The are quite lethal and offer reduced over penetration. I could go on and on.

IMO all red blooded non felon Americans should own at least one.

 

[__Doc_]

probably one of the most if not the most modular rifle ever made, both accessories and caliber
why the **** not?

For when the zombies come.
