I have 8 of them and my mom is not a gun person (I had to force her to take a 38 snub and a couple boxes of talons) but I want to "accidentally" leave one and some mags at her her house since a 38 is all she has. She lives in a very large 2 story by herself and I just want her more protected.
If she trains with it, an AK should be no problem. Many of the people shooting AKs at Americans over the past 50 years were (are) not exactly built like NFL linebackers. That said, if she's not skilled and comfortable with the weapon, what's the chance she'll grab it in a crisis?
