Do you have to leave your AR's locked up at the range ? They've been severely restricted here in communist NY but we can still own them, use them for hunting and keep them at home. We just can't have a seperate pistol grip, so have to use the rediculous looking but quite functional Thorsden stocks on them, are limited to 10 round magazines or converting them to non removable magazine and can't have a flash hider.
