Massad Ayoob: Defending Your Home with the AR-15 Elite Carbine - ar15 - Critical Mas Episode 16

[@senatorshaun]

This quote needs to be a bumper sticker asap "If an AR-15 is so intimidating that the media, an entire political party, and two sitting presidents have wanted to ban it. Then it might be intimidating enough that any violent intruder upon seeing it, would run away, and not force me to end their life." -Mossad Ayoob

[@egmjag]

I used a shotgun the very first time I had to defend me and my mother from 4 ex-cons who tried to do a home invasion. In retrospect, I’d use an AR instead of a shotgun for multiple threats. Faster follow up shots and more ammo capacity. I would never comply with any magazine limit. In places like L.A. County criminals are literally favored and considered victims of society. I saw a video several years ago where popular calibers and guns were tested inside an empty home. The AR’s .223 penetrated the least, even less than a 9mm.

[@ghostwrench2292]

I have a VR-80 with magazines that hold 5, 9 or 19 rounds. I keep it loaded in my safe with the 5 round magazine because the 9 and especially the 19 round magazine are pretty long. I definitely want to add an AR-15 for home defense on the point that the ladies in my home are intimidated by the VR-80.

[@gordonjohnston684]

How many rounds did you fire?

The only retort that I have is that firing a 223/5.56 round inside without hearing protection is going to be extremely painful and probably blow your eardrums.

If it's more rounds, more weapons, more defensive positions, etc....you name it, I want them all and my adversary to have none. Just my $0.02...

I have been shooting guns, since I was 16 years old. My father taught me how to handle them safely with a Winchester Semi-Auto .22 rifle. Bought my fist pistol in my 30's. I have had training and also have a CPL, that I will be renewing soon. I have never heard a more concise explanation and justification for the selection of the AR-15, with the standard 30 round mag, for home defense. Your answer to it's use was so on point. The right answer to the group who wants to take ours away and leave them in the wrong hands instead, the people who follow no laws. Thank you Massad Ayoob!

Man I've always been afraid that my hearing would never come back, but the threat of multiple invaders has me reconsidering. Better off deaf than dead I suppose.

[@jthrelf]

Yup. You can always start the clock on a suppressor and in the meantime keep some electronic earmuffs handy and hope you have time to put them on.

[@markmalone279]

@PUTRID HEAD Ehh... You aver shot an AR inside without ear pro???

Just started looking into Massad ayoob and I’m loving all this useful information. As a gun owner you never stop learning.

SPOT ON!!! This is why I have my AR15 accessible for everyone in the house that is authorized to use it. Now to get my wife out to the range and get familiar with my zero. I actually have .223 soft lead tip rounds, and in a 40 round magazine, I am definitely set up for multiple home invaders. I like to throw out with the use of a doorbell camera and replacing the two 1/2 in screws in my deadbolt flash with 3 in screws act as a deterrent and with layers of deterrents like that leaves less doubt that the people invading really want to get into my home to do harm.

Massad has one of the best hair pieces on KZbin!

[@warlockcommandcenter]

Thank you Massad, I have benefited from your books lost some teaching new shooters.

[@jimthegatekeeper59]

Thanks Mas! I always wondered about over penetration with my AR as my home defense rifle. I keep 60 rds onboard set up with a red dot sight and light. Now I'm positive I made the right choice vs my 12ga pump.

[@jimmyromero7348]

Great information thank you

[@gowilsoncombat]

Very welcome

[@dbran711]

I read your book "In The Gravest Extreme" way back in the early 80's. As always you have the best advice available backed up by actual case history. Thank you for all you have done for all of us Mr. Ayoob.

[@mattgonzales810]

Great views and info as always Massad! Wish you could talk sense into these irresponsible states taking it upon themselves to limit magazine capacity in the name of "public safety"...

[@bjbarlow]

Absolutely a great presentation. Many thanks to Mr Ayoob and WC.

[@Divenity]

Not in a million years would I have ever expected to hear you use the word "derpy", but, well, there it was lol.

[@brucewarren5248]

The amount that I learn from your videos is staggering. As I have said before, they are brilliantly produced.

[@jeffthomas4382]

What about the sound pressure generated by the 556 round when shooting inside the residence as compared to a pistol round? Can this increased pressure essentially flash bang yourself into not being able to respond appropriately after the first round?

[@johnlogan1179]

No

Mr. Ayoob, you are a great American 🇺🇸
