Advice?

Ok, here it is.

Let's say you are in fear of losing your life.  You reach for the closest firearm to protect yourself, and you empty that 30 round mag in to your attackers.

Now, fast forward a few months.

You are on trial for murder, and you feel your shooting was justified.

The jury hears the prosecutions case, and is shown an AR15, with all its evil features.

Feel good about that?

Best advice I ever got in the use of a firearm for home defense.  You want to kill the attacker with a  shotgun/rifle/pistol that looks just like your Grandpa's.  You want a jury to see the weapon you chose and to feel empathy, not horror.

AR15 is fine for self-defense, but it does not play well in front of a jury...
