It's only a matter of time before all the high speed users change their gear over to adapt to the new tactical Mini!

I think he is one of the Texas Department of Wildlife wardens, Most of them have Mini's and AR-15's. Might be another states, but definately a warden.

Rather appropriate, a ghetto gun for a ghetto city.

He's a Louisiana Game Warden. Now all he needs to do is put that rifle to good use and pop some looters.

Listen, I'm tired of the mini vs. AR debate. I've have owned and still own both. These guns are both reliable and more then ready for serious use. Yes I have both military(Infantry) and civilian law enforcement experience. The problem is guys who use the AR don't want to admit the mini is just as reliable as the AR, but the cool, I'm up to speed factor isn't there. Chosing either is is a solid choice, the only drawback is the magazines for the mini. Just my 2 cents.

I own both, My mini Rides in my truck behind the seat and my AR Dont, The only reason I prolly like the AR over the mini is that the AR dont have a handle moving on the side of it. just my 2cents though. And mags Do suck, Freakin 40 bucks for a 20 rounder here. thats like 3-4 30's for an AR

BIG +1 the AR being more accuratte than the Ruger, but the mini14 IS a great ranch rifle.
Just my two cents.

take a hard look at the top left (his left) of his PFD Im pretty sure he is either LSP or some sort of LA state natural resources officer, but looking at the patch, I think hes LSP............

Shot my dad in laws Mini last week in TN. It is a great ranch rifle agreed. My biggest gripe is how much of a pai9n in the ass that thing is to clean. Ill stick with my AR but I wont knock the mini.

Still better than a pistol. Mini or no long arm. Not a hard choice IMO.

I have had a fair amount of experience (5-6 years before they were traded on MP5's and H&K 33 / 53's) with about 50-60 Minis from the earlier runs and several of the AC556 and 556K's. I will agree they make a decent ranch rifle, but disagree they are even close to being up to what a good, factory Colt, or even Bushmaster, AR / M16 will do. Many of the stainless AC's had function issues after 50-100 rounds were fired in them on full auto...factory WW white box with factory 20 and 30rd. mags. Seen many malfunctions with selectors and empties flipping and jamming the breech, on full auto fire, etc. (all stainless models) JMO

I can say for damned sure, however, that I would take a Mimi any day over nothing in this guy's situation!
