There is obviously the psychological aspect of the black, scary rifle.
Wouldn't you think that the described aspect could lead to a more peaceful resolution in a confrontation, by the perpetrator fleeing in fear of such a weapon ?
I know the owner would need to not be a gung go cowboy, but such a factor is worthy of consideration.
I am not sure that military-style weapons look scarier to people who break in homes and likely know something about weapons.
Up close, I would rather be shot with a rifle than a 12 gauge. Also there are semi automatic shotguns.
Seems to me a handgun would do just fine in most situations.
Would someone who favors peaceful resolutions buy a military-style rifle for "home defense"?
