I don't have my AR15 yet but sooner or later that's on my list. It's harder for me to justify my gun purchases than it is car parts to my wife when I already have quite a few. My last purchase was a Beretta 96a1 .40 last summer. We'll probably get a .22 pistol for her to shoot before I get anything else.

Good to see some other gun dudes here!
I'm thinking of picking up a PSA AR 15, right now the complete package is $499 and it looks to be a good starter kit. Or, I could go buy a higher end gun in a store locally but spend an additional $100-150. However, it seems like there's not much difference between the PSA vs the $700 guns. It doesn't have a forward assist or dust cover, but I'm not sure how important either of those really are, I'm not a rifle guy....
Right now I carry a Glock 21 for work, I'm selling my black/gold Bersa Thunder .380, and I'll likely be picking up a small 9mm compact Glock for CCW and then an HK VP9 as a fun/target pistol for range days.

Didn't you just buy your Bersa? What happened to Ryan Bond?

I spent a lot of time playing around with it and shooting it, shoots great, feels great, but unfortunately it's messing with my muscle memory. I was doing some shooting drills for work a couple days ago, and after drawing my Glock I started fumbling with it, looking for the safety on the slide where the Bersa's is...... No me gusta. It took me about 2 seconds to realize my duty weapon has no safety, and should that happen in real life I'd likely be dead. So, as cool as it looks, it's gotta go.

How many do you need?
I'm looking at something for concealed carry. XDS .45 is looking pretty sexy.
I carry a Kahr CW45 (.45 acp). I'm quite proficient with it, conceals very easily and it's light. It's NOT comfortable to shoot a lot of rounds through, but when (if) I need to use it in a real life situation, I don't think that will matter one bit. The reason it is uncomfortable is the grip bites into the palm of your hand, but that fact adds to the controllability of it and thus my accuracy with it. I carry with either my Remora holster or my Crossbreed supertuck.

Like some things in life, ARs are one where you get what you pay for. The best deal I've found for the money is a Ruger SR-556 Carbine. That's my current AR-15. It has a lot of features for the price, and damn reliable. It's piston driven, and the best part is, the orifice has 4 settings: big, medium, small and off. Off makes it into a single-shot rifle. You use the others to cycle the weapon reliably depending on the ammo you are currently running.
I sold my Panther Arms "Sportacle" for about 30% more than I paid after Sandy Hook. It was damn unreliable... Lowers may all have the same design, but they are not all created equal.
Then bought my Ruger at a very reasonable price after the dust settled. Don't go cheap on an AR-15. You'll likely regret it...

I'm potentially grabbing a Bushmaster Carbon 15 tonight or tomorrow, seems like a better overall package than the PSA stuff.

Im a bit shocked they killed them! Good for them

I was shocked this week to hear that French police have guns. Well good for them taking out those terrorist cowards. I only wish those Muslim Extremists would fight straight up, we'd mop the floor with them!
Bring it on, you scumbags! BTW, I'm still very disappointed in our government response. Too politically correct to call it what it is... surprised they didn't label it "workplace violence" (like they did at Fort Hood). After all, the first 10 killed at the CH publisher were at work.
The show of unity of millions of people in Paris is compelling... but is it what the terrorists wanted to happen? See, they win no matter what. The media continues to feed this machine. The fact that security measures in airports are ridiculous is testament to this. You are so much more likely to be killed in a car accident or struck by lightning than killed by terrorism, especially on a plane. We spend way too much money on ineffectual security measures. Result is, the terrorists win again...
Vigilance is how we defeat it, and trying to understand this maniac extremism. They want to fight like cowards. We have to call them out as such. How dishonorable they are. If the Extremists followed their own LAW, they shall all kill themselves.
