I have nothing against having an AR platform rifle, or equivalent, as a defensive weapon. But, being a southpaw, I've never really warmed up to them. I had an M-16 (A-1) back when I was in the Army, and quite frankly I didn't like it. The safety is on the wrong side, and the one I had, had this irritating habit of ejecting hot brass right down my fatigue shirt. Phooey on that. So, I'm going the Lever Action route -- Marlin 336 in .30-30, backed up with a PT-92 to back me up if it really gets so bad that I'll need that sort of volume of fire. In the long run, if it gets completely out of hand and society completely breaks down, I figure that I'll find a suitable semi-auto on the battlefield. Barring that, the Lever Action backed up with an autoloading handgun should get me by.
