	In response to the person who is considering an M1 carbine vs. an
AR-15 for home defense:

All firearms are loud, but an AR-15 is !LOUD!!  I suspect that anyone who
fired one in an enclosed space (e.g. indoors) without ear protection
would permanently damage their hearing.  Of course, when you are faced
with the threat of a possibly armed intruder, this becomes a secondary
consideration, but its worth thinking about when choosing a gun for
home defense.
