Yep, and the Mini 14 has the fringe benefit of being a less threatening looking firearm in the eyes of the general public, (especially if it has a wooden stock) so Lionel Hutz will have to make more of an effort if he wants to paint you as the villain in the aftermath of a shooting in which you mercilessly gunned down the kindly young man who entered your home at 3:00am to inform you that someone had gone and busted the lock on your door or broken your window, then pocketed a few of your belongings on the way to your bedroom for safe-keeping.
