I know which sources you researched about Katrina, simply by your words, which I will quote for you here: "I was looking for a rifle that could serve as a defense tool especially in a post-Katrina/New Orleans scenario. I had been mislead to believe that AR15s were problematic on the one hand and mini-14's very inaccurate on the other."
I am surprised that a self-professed LEO would come to a board such as this to find out about the accuracy of a Mini-14 or the reliability of an AR-15. I can assure you that after Ike, when all power was out, we did not see an LEO for days. If your main rifle is indeed an AR-10 and you know how to use it, what in the hell are you carrying on about what you read on the Internet about the AR-15 and how it jams up solid every time?
Also, you truly did not understand what I meant by who is a first responder. We, as citizens and human beings, are all first responders. LEOs and EMTs, etc show up after the fact. When my friend's house had that huge branch go through the roof, no LEO showed up, we the neighborhood did. The LEO and the EMTs and FEMA and the county did not chop up the tree blocking the street, we the citizens did.
What is your view on the LEOs illegally disarming the citizens of New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina. Do you think that was a good use the so-called "first responders"?
