I think I get what this guy is saying, most of us carry regularly, so you never know when a split second decision will come, I believe innocent until proven guilty. That's how I want to be treated.
I bought a RRA Elite operator 2, I got it because it came with some options from the factory, but after learning more about AR's sometimes I wish I would have started with a basic rifle and then picked parts as I went.
Good luck you will have a lot of fun.
At the last Indy 1500 I saw a few delton's for $650- 700, some had a few accessories.
They look ok, I'd buy one.
Used is allways a good Idea, to save money.
Went to menards, the girl at the check out asked if I had a ltch, thought I was about to get hasseled, nope. She said..she had put in for ltch,herself. The wait was killing her. I thought that was awesome. She was young, couldn't have been much more than just legal to carry.
Then got a hair...
I have had 2 pair, used them overseas, right now I have flak jackets, I really like them. My one yr old takes them off my face, and plays with them so far so good.
