With kids, lawsuits, practicality of having it at the ready, I don't choose it as the first weapon. In reality I am likely to get hands on a handgun quicker and be able to effect control with it in my situation. In cases, where time or location permits, an M4 is likely next and the shotgun next.

Just personal choice with my home, kids and personal training.
I wish!
Chicago = no handgun or assault rifle
