Meat So You Don’t Have A Gun....

Crosssbows are a serious option for home defence globally, because there are so few regulations around them. They are usually available for purchase even when firearms are severely restricted. The bolts are reusable (IF you can find them again...) and can be made at home at a pinch. They've been used for hunting and defence for thousands of years.

The biggest drawback is the rate of fire - but the Chinese actually solved that over 2000 years ago. The Chinese have had repeating crosssbows with 10-15-shot magazines and a repeat rate of 1 shot every 2 seconds for over two millenia.
Some of the originals actually had two parallel stacks of bolts in the magazine, and fired two bolts with each shot. It's not accurate or powerful, rather its purpose is to allow absolutely anybody regardless of physical strength or skill to send a lot of bolts towards a close-range attacker. According to an ancient Chinese source:

Yes, this is true. My apologies to the rest of the world... and Kommyfornia

Crossbows are a ranged weapon. Not so good for home defense and for ranged defense, unless you're in a South African type scenario, you're probably not going to get away with using them in any range scenario.

Probably better to train equip with knife/dagger/sabre or somesuch if gun's aren't an option.

No, I'm talking the little pistol crossbows you can pick up for a few dollars in archery shops anywhere in the world, homebuilt equivalents, or the ancient repeating crossbow I shared videos of, all of which are short-range weapons. You're not going to use a high powered hunting crossbow for home defence - too slow to reload and too cumbersome to use in such a situation. Same reason a single-shot bolt-action .50 calibre snipers rifle is not a home defence weapon.

This is what happens when you don't have a gun...

These kind of black on white attacks are happening world wide. And it's happening a lot. Many such cases as these often don't get prosecuted and almost never get press coverage.
 
I wonder what his fellow drivers feel after being used to stand in solidarity with what turned out to be a lie.

Communism left ussr for a while and universities in usa and other countries, continued to grow it programming their youths. Now we have antifa and other flavors of Marxism, socialism, communism in other lands who used to be more free. We as a people allowed a tolerance to that mess.
All of it is a rebellion agains God, this is why they eliminate real church activity as soon as they take power. They leave the lukewarm compliant parts for good public relations external.
They call themselves revolutionary. Satan was the first revolutionary marketing type. There are 2 powerful mafias fighting for control and none are christian or muslim.

What's the practical tactical range of an AR9 carbine?

The Germans used to put 500 yard sights on their artillery Lugers, basically regular Lugers with a eight inch barrel and a detachable stock, wildly optimistic yes but not completely impossible either.

Nine millimeter out of a 10 or 11 inch barrel with the added stability a carbine brings can be a 100 yard weapon for self defense purposes.

Is that really practical though, considering there is perennial debate about it's stopping power at handgun distances?

Not trying to knock the idea. AR9 has some appeal to me, just trying to think through the pro's and con's.
 
Pro: Nobody can accuse it of being an AR15

Con: It isn’t an AR15
