I've repeatedly asked for examples of practical use of ARs. Defense 
might qualify - although Andrew has previously stated that an AR is 
lousy for home defense.

If defensive uses of ARs by civilians exist, they must be very rare. 
Unless, perhaps, you're talking about gang war shootouts, where "He 
dissed my girlfriend" might qualify as an attack.
