How is a carbine better than a shot gun at close quarters??Yeah, man...don't mean to derail your pro gun-grabbing posts, but need to make a correction to the above:
Handguns are great for convenience/being discreet, but they're not the "best defense" against badguy(s) breaking into your domicile.
Carbines>Shotguns>Handguns
Also, while I'm here, It's not "AWAL"...it's AWOL. Absent Without Official Leave. And it's not always what you think. Shit, I've been AWOL once. If someone forgets to ensure that their leave was approved before traveling, technically they're AWOL. It doesn't mean they've become some deserter and are put up on the wall and shot. Sometimes it's just administrative issues.
Alright, you filthy civilians, carry on with your hot takes and scenarios. They're quite entertaining.
For home defense?How is a carbine better than a shot gun at close quarters??
Anything that takes more than 7 rounds of 00 buckshot likely won't go down with a carbineFor home defense?
Round capacity, low recoil for follow up shots, round capacity, faster reload, round capacity, more mod'able for ergonomics/function (lights, optics, grips, etc), and last but not least....round capacity.
The best weapon is what you have available, though.
What do you expect? It's action vs reaction and the dude went and killed himself. Not exactly a trail to follow.I don't understand how it took so fucking long to catch up with him. That really does not speak well of our police/detective capabilities as a nation
Why would right wingers be lined up and shot? Your paranoia is crazy
Yeah, I'm not limiting myself to 7 rounds of ANYTHING when there is potential for multiple moving targets and misses. Especially not something tube-fed. You do you, though.Anything that takes more than 7 rounds of 00 buckshot likely won't go down with a carbine
See a shot gun blast will send most shit bags running. If you piss off Seal Team 6 I can see the need for a m4. I have both so I don't have to decide which one. I'll just duel wield.Yeah, I'm not limiting myself to 7 rounds of ANYTHING when there is potential for multiple moving targets and misses. Especially not something tube-fed. You do you, though.

Some more information about the weeks before the shooting.
Video shows Lewiston gunman’s paranoid behavior months before mass shooting
In a 15-minute video from July released by New York State Police, Robert Card repeatedly tells officers that people are calling him a pedophile everywhere he goes and warns that he's 'capable' of doing something about it.www.pressherald.com
A reservist called a superior and said "I think he's gonna snap and do a mass shooting."Law enforcement should have seized man's guns weeks before he killed 18 in Maine, report finds
A sheriff's office had cause to take the killer in Maine's worst mass shooting into custody before he killed 18 people, an independent commission has found.apnews.com
“The commission said it straight out — that they could have done it, should have done it,” said Walker, an Auburn City Council member. “What something like this really does is it brings up everything … It just breaks the heart all over again.”
Someone could have had a gun to defend themselves?Yeah great.. totally normal way to live for "the wealthiest nation in the world"
Trading 10-20 innocent lives for one asshole with a gun every time
Maine is a carry state?Someone could have had a gun to defend themselves?
If it was a carry state
That’s the country we live in
Pretty lax gun laws up here all around. Its a rural state, lots of hunters. Lot of tourism involving hunting, etc.Maine is a carry state?
