I live in Alabama, but I've never owned a gun, and could never understand the use of an AR15... TyrReborn Send a noteboard - 04/10/2017 06:55:26 PM

Until a friend of mine, who works for various forestry entities, was telling me about a survey of wild boars he did in the Bankhead forest. He showed up with his handgun, and the 2 other guys he was with had AR-15s. Said they're ideal for dealing with wild boars.

Before I heard that story, I'd never understood why AR-15s are legal, but, it makes sense they'd see use in this sort of environment.

Sorry, nothing major to add to y our comment, just thought I'd toss in my 2 cents on this.
