Good job apartment renters.  Except next time I wouldn't release information on whether your AR was loaded or not at the time.

 

NO SHOTS FIRED: HOME INTRUDERS DECIDE NOT TO STICK AROUND AFTER SEEING THEIR ‘VICTIM’ HOLDING AN AR-15

 

Two home intruders, one holding a handgun, broke into a New York apartment on Tuesday and waited at the bottom of the stairs for a potential “victim” to come down. While their intentions are unknown, it is clear they were criminals up to no good.

After hearing some noise coming from the basement, Christopher Boise, a student at Rochester Institute of Technology, went to check it out.

“They were waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs,” Boise told WHAM-TV. When they saw him, the man with the gun pointed the barrel towards him.

Relying on pure instinct, Boise let out a blood-curdling scream in order to alert his roommate, Raymond, who is also a RIT student.

“It wasn’t like a, ‘I stepped by stepped on a piece of glass’ kind of scream,” Raymond said.  “So, I instinctively went to my gun bag.”

In that bag was a AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, one of the very guns at the center of the current gun control debate.

 

 

 

About five seconds after he retrieved his gun, one of the intruders began opening the door to the room where he was waiting. But he was ready.

“By the time I had it out and ready, one of the men came at my door, slowly opened it, saw that there was a barrel on the other side and from there backed out,” Raymond recalled.

After seeing the barrel of an AR-15 staring them in the face, the two men fled from the apartment. No shots were fired and no one was injured. In fact, the rifle wasn’t even loaded at the time of the incident, Raymond said.

It’s not the kind of story that always makes national headlines as bullets never went flying, but it certainly shows why so many Americans are adamant about protecting the Second Amendment as it is written in the U.S. Constitution. It also shows that, in some cases, a gun doesn’t even have to be used in order for it to protect its owner and others.

Interesting refutation of an argument nobody has advanced.

AR-15's should be banned. This is an argument many have advanced and implemented.

Nobody said that they should be banned because they can't be used to defend property

hush child .  you know not of what you speak

[Lilllabettt]

The thread title is incorrect. It should read "Evil Assault Rifle Defends Apartment."  That is the logical corollary to "Gun Kills 3, Wounds 7."

I don't think AR-15's should be banned. I was saying that was the argument people were using.

The scope on that trifle is terribly too high, no way to form a cheek weld on that stock w/o some attached aid, good thing they came up with removable carrying handles to attach optics. If it all works out you can co witness the irons!

But people have advanced the argument that the person with the rifle should be subject to assault, kidnapping or murder for mere ownership of the weapon.

There was no refutation of anything. It was just a news article.

AR15 is NOT an Assault Rifle...it does not have full auto capabilities...now under U.S. Law it is an assault weapon which is defined by cosmetic characteristics rather than capabilities.

[Jesus_lol]

This, for instance, has the exact same capability as an AR15, by every metric. 

 

It would not be classified as an Assault Weapon, by anyone.

Unless it is loaded with those baby seeking armour piercing cop killer explosive tracer rounds.
