So I'm talking to my cousin at Thanksgiving dinner.

Me:  I'm gonna get a single shot 223.

Him:  Why 223 guns are pointless.

Me:  So an AR is pointless?

Him:  Yes, what are you going to do with an AR?

Me:  Home defense.

Him:  No ones gonna break into your house and it only takes one shot anyway.

Me:  I'm prepared, and you can never have too much ammo.

Him:  You don't need 30 rounds, it only takes one shot. I don't even have any guns at my house. (guns are all at his grandfathers house) I'm not scared of people breaking in.

Me: I'm not scared, I'm prepared.

Him:  Yeah prepared for a home invasion, just like the zombie apocalypse.

This is also the guy that goes deer hunting with an unloaded gun.

Honestly, this exchange is not entirely different than some of the ones had in the various shotguns for home defense shit storms.

The thing was, I thought he would be interested in an H&R 223 as it is kinda a fudd gun.

How does he know it will only take one shot? Because that's how many it takes James Bond with a .380??
Too many movies.

It took 6 shots to stop Brown with a .40, and that was only after a head shot.

Shot placement > caliber (at least with a hand gun) which is why rifles > pistols

Today:



Me:  I've got a rifle in this cool new round.  (Describes 300 Body Odor)




Cousin:  Why do you buy all of that tactical stuff.  My remmy 700 gets the job done just fine.




Me:  Why do you dislike technological progress?  Tactical is just a buzzword to describe the latest advancements in firearm technology.




Cousin: *shrug*  That stuff is only good for shooting people.

I know a guy that did that.
Spined a Buck.
Thing was flailing around with no use of its rears.
His muzzle loader was spent.
So he bludgeoned it to death with his ML. buttstock.
Busted the stock in the process.

Ask him what his plan is for more than one robber. Then give him a  paintball pistol with one round in it.  tell him to holster it.  walk 30 feet  away with three of your mutual friends then spin and charge him with a rubber knife  covered in paint. The stains will change his mind

I wish I would have thought of that first.  What got him was the 300BO vs pellet gun vid and the fact that he can't hear for shit.

Why the eye rolling? People watch wildlife without killing it pretty regularly. It's not that uncommon.
This past deer season, I leaned my rifle against the blind and just watched what was going on outside.
Saw a bobcat, had no desire to shoot it.

Shoot a few watermelons with a 50gr V-Max out of your new .223 single shot.  After seeing that, he'll want one too.  After that, shoot a few melons with an AR.... if he's got any intestinal fortitude he'll want one of them too.
