So in a perfect world I would have money to buy all sorts of gunz, gamez, and girlz.
And the ammunition and sports cars to go with it. It ain't, but I can dream right?

If I were going in the 1k range for a carbine, with emphasis on the fact that's it would actually be used for self defense. What carbine would I get?

[EDIT]
But please... the whole israel thing is an aside, I am asking wondering, in the perfect world what would your carbine be?
[/EDIT]

I plan on moving to Israel for graduate school and I will live on a settlement that is not so infrequently the subject of sniper fire in the settlement itself, and on the roads of the surrounding area. Everyone travels armed in that area... I would have guard duty about once every other week... lovely place to live I know... :-(

A weapon that is comfortable, light, and easier to carry and move from car to house, and back, and all over the place.
Being able to modify the sights of the weapon to suit technology/preference is also a bit important, althought I have yet to own a rifle so I am not really up to speed on options in that department.

Also note that Israel is a country that allows civilians to equip with the heavier weaponry. I still only want a semi-automatic weapon, but there have to be high capacity magazines available outside this country.
