Since Trump's election, gun groups catering to progressives and people of color report a surge in interest as they look to defend themselves in a country that, to them, feels increasingly unstable.

5.56 rounds over penetrates less than 9mm and less than many different shot shells too. I like HD 9mm rounds but the AR platform for home defense is a smart choice.

    And I'm not saying it's ideal, but you'll still take a deer down in some insane scenario where you're hunting for food.

    Ive heard even 9mm higher pressure rounds through a carbine length barrel can stop some bears. Im not saying I'd trust it to be my first choice in that situation but I'd wager if you get good enough with 5.56 there's not much you wouldn't be able to stop with a couple follow up shots or hunt with a good first shot.
