Looking into getting into shooting again. I was going to initially go for an AR15, but they are super banned in my state. So I've been checking out getting something similar that is legal.

Is the Ruger Mini 14 a good substitute? Just mostly want it for 99% fun shooting at the range, 1% personal safety.

Hoping to get some general advice on semi auto rifles and whatnot. Thanks!

I would honestly recommend a cheap AR and get you some wood furniture. Mini 14s are very picky about what magazines they like.
