Having just sold all of my firearms and ammo due to a PFA complaint that was just dropped today  , I am tempted to acquire a nice AR with the proper optics (green laser, scope, and / or red dot sights) for my 61 year old eyes.

Off topic, no? LOL
I got rid of most of my firearms Russian and Soviet weapons before I divorced wife #1..."sold" them to my dad a few months before divorce was filed. I had a couple handguns left in the house that I disposed of during the divorce due to BS complaints of feeling threatened having them around our kids. I showed the judge proper receipts of sales on them, and explained that they were sold to appeases the now ex-wife. That pleased the judge, so I still had full visitation rights, and the house was considered safe. After the divorce, I started over on handguns, keeping the soviet stuff over at mom and dad's house, adding to it as the years progressed. When dad died, mom told me that I could either collect them, or continue to keep them there, locked up under bed. I chose the latter option. Now that my wife and I are living with mom to care for her, I brought my gun cabinets into the spare bedroom and transferred everything over to them. I don't currently have ammo for them, other than 7.62X54R for the Mosins. I have one that I enjoy shooting, but the range that I can shoot at locally is shut down as they are rebuilding their backstops...so now I have drive a little more than 2 hours away to our cabin on the farm to shoot. The bad thing about that is that someone built a cabin on the property adjacent to ours, about a 1/4 mile away, and we never built a backstop. I'll have to remedy that this Summer, by moving things down the hill a bit, and firing into the hill. The Mosin is a powerful rifle...and needs a good backstop to catch the rounds.
