take the time to read the entire thread danny made about home defense. Danny, others, and myself put up good arguments either way. AR is not practical for home defense. In my experience people who rely on something looking cool or sounding cool have spent there in the wrong place. TRAINGING is the single most important factor when it comes to home defense and personal defense.

You will not learn the same two/ten skills when you attended different programs. The idea is to take 4-5 things you liked from the instructors course of material and practice the shit out of it. Trash what you hate and keep what works. Eventually you will come up with a style that suits you best.

Anywho..
