Interesting subject, I just put a thread on another site asking how many of us actually carried a carbine in the service. I did, and I love it. I killed two enemy combatants with one on two diffeent ocasiona and they died quickly. Of course one had 15 rounds in him from 6 feet or so the other a single round in the upper left chest that must have cut the upper part of his heart because blood came out of it in a stream.
I have 4 of them, 8 AR's. and 34 other rifles.
I keep an M-1 carbine near my desk with 15 rounds of Winchester soft point ammo.
My wife can use it as well as I can.
My first gun at night is a .38 Special Det Spec. If I can do it I get to the carbine.
That will take care of any problem we will have.
