Your buddy may have an unfounded bias against them, as AR-15's are in general extremely reliable, and don't require much maintainence or cleaning for the most part, especially since most people don't practice all that much.

A shotgun is a great choice for defense though, and often is a better choice than an AR.

I only clean mine because it's white. It would run forever shooting the filthy, cheap ammo I buy.
