I haven't seen too many women walking around with AR15 to defend themselves.

Well, that depends.

I am dropping rounds, consistently, into the paper man's chest at 100 yards standing with my -15. If someone wants to do me harm, I want him far away from me to begin with.

In our bail out scenarios, the -15 is included.

When traveling across country, it's my pistol and something extra, usually the -15.

There was no link so you could be right.

Thinking about it I'm sure it's a glock (probably a 31) if women were surveyed.

In any event, property rights are absolute and they can own anything they want.

That's not fake news.

Personally, my choice is the .45 or the 9mm. When my conceal .45 was leaving me less than happy, my arms dealer got me a Sig P239. And while my M70A

is some pretty old technology, I love its slimness.

I'll take it even simpler without getting into details (for that is not this thread). If you are held responsible as an adult at 18, then you should get the privs/rights of an adult.
Those old Russian handguns are cheap, but very reliable. I used to use a Makarov for my hitchhiking gun.

BTW..The “AR” in “AR-15” rifle stands for ArmaLite rifle, after the company that developed it in the 1950s. “AR” does NOT stand for “assault rifle” or “automatic rifle.”
Source?

I guess this a thread to somehow convince people that an AR-15 is a necessity to women, it is evidently the favorite weapon of mass shooters and that is a fact.

I have four Maks from various Combloc countries, including Russia. It is an extremely reliable, and accurate pistol.

The AR-15 is very popular with women at my gun club. I would wager though that more own and shoot handguns, but the relatively light weight and low recoil is factor. Also, it is an easy rifle to shoot accurately, and the ergonomics are great.

No, it doesn't depend. The AR-15 is not women's chosen gun for self defense for the obvious reason that it is impossible to conceal. They prefer something that fits in the purse, and are easy to use in a panic situation, like hammerless revolvers.

.38 snub is better. 5 for sure.
