AR rifles are very misunderstood by many.
It is an unfairly demonized weapon.
Most of the people who seem to dislike it dont understand it.
A well-trained and prepared user with a rifle like the Springfield Armory SAINT Victor 5.56 can be a capable home defender.
They claim that civilians have no need for the firearm.
They like to say its not useful for hunting or home defense.
Not that it matters, but the AR is an excellent firearm for both tasks.
The light weight of the SAINT Victor makes it easier to use one-handed when required, like when calling 911 with your other hand.
In fact, in a home defense role, it excels.
Its lightweight, low recoiling, easy to use, and an efficient manstopper.

She fired one round, killing one of the robbers and sending the second fleeing away from her home.

These masked men attacked, and the veteran fought back.
He ultimately killed two of the four men, while the other two men fled.
The AR can be a great equalizer!
Inthis casein Nebraska, a man was home alone when he received two unexpected guests.
He looked through his peephole and saw two men; one masked, and another with his face obscured.
He retrieved his rifle, and then the men kicked down his door.
The mere presence of the rifle sent the thugs scurrying away into the night.
Thats Not All
These arent the only times an AR has been used in home defense.
