I guess the Police are always on the offensive ---

I always grab my .45 and my AR-15 when checking around my house. Caught someone in my backyard stealing a step stool.. I know right, a step stool that my kids used to get on the trampoline... Crazy but whatever.. Point is
1. I grabbed the AR for first weapon and .45 as backup.
2. I didn't shoot this person just because I had an AR
I did not say that an AR15 is not used for defense. I said "I can see a handgun being used as protection". Clearly any weapon can be used for offense or defense.

Again, this all goes back to my military training. If you are taking on someone who broke into the house, you need a handgun. If you are manning the front line and might suddenly find yourself taking on a platoon of thirty well armed men... You need an assault rifle.
