I wouldn't use an AR for home defense because I'm not interested in shooting through 4 walls and killing my neighbors kid by accident.

Have you ever shot a gun before? Drywall isn't stopping shit. Handgun rounds go through walls easily.

I believe bird shot is enough of a deterrent for home defense and requires significantly less precision in a tense situation.

You shot to kill not wound, and a shotgun isn't easier to use than an AR, on top of that birdshot is not fanning out at 10' in your home... it's basically a slug at that distance and will %100 go through drywall.

You've been reading some really FUDD shit if you believe anything you typed up.

Edit: lol at people upvoting that complete nonsense comment to this one. Please for the love of Cthulhu people don't buy a shotgun and leave it in your home for home defense and do not load it with fucking birdshot...get a handgun if you're afraid of an AR.

Hey it's gotta go through some fiberglass, glued-together wood chips, and plastic siding too. They just need a few layers of wet tissue paper on there as well and they'll be golden.
