Ever increasing threat of home invasion, so I bought:

I keep a .45 with "drywall" rounds to make sure there is no collateral damage. They are high speed rounds but break up when they hit the walls. At least that's what they say, luckily I haven't tested that feature.
 
I got my wife a 12 gauge Benelli automatic 8 years ago for Christmas. No messing with a pump although the motion should be familiar to her...
 
Won't divulge much of what I have, but here's the Weiner alarm system:

he will rip your shins up. Notice the Doberman markings- he thinks he is one. While he's entertaining them, the next sound they hear will be the 870 chambering one up.
Nice choice
 
Plus when you hear the racking of a pump, you're smart if ur already running. In the dark it sounds very intimidating.

It also locates you for the intruder. Always a round in the chamber, with the safety on.
 
I bought my SRM 1216 for HD....but it doesn't fit on the night-stand well. It's relegated to sleeping in a safe.
 
Tension on the springs,though!!?!! Kinda why I like a revolver, but I rotate magazines every 6months to take tension off mag spring.
 
Worked with a guy that had a pump & he loaded buckshot,slug,buckshot,etc. Why?? "If they get too far away the slug'll reach them"!!!! lol

:rofl:Nice buy ski, but let me know how much repairs are gonna be on your house.

Because when you pump that shotgun your gonna find a big opening in your wall where the intruder went thru cause he's not sticking around.

Amen to the Rottweiler and a german shepard. But, a 12 gauge at 11 feet, w/ a #6 pheasant load will make a hole a hair bigger than a base ball in a paneled house. ask me how I know. well, on second thot, don`t !!!!LOL
 
Timely thread. This morning @ 1:15am I woke because the dogs were growling. Then I noticed the motion detector lights triggering. Then there's a knock at the door and now the dogs are going ape ****! I was thinking police or a neighbor but am always cautious. I grab my peacemaker (Glock 21) and head to the door. Whenever I think ít might be the police, I always distinctly call out my CCW permit #.

So, I'm asking who is at the door (before opening it) and I hear a guys voice but can't make out what he's saying. We have a stained glass upper in the door but things are distorted when looking out (especially at night). I coud make out two bòdies though. Before I opened the door with the chain on, I'm telling them to move back 5 ft. They do so and I open the door as I send one into the chamber so they can hear it. I don't recognize them but know their look. Two males in their early/mid twenties, unkempt, fast talking and both wearing backpacks (which to me is the giveaway of what they're up to).

I ask them, "What the F are you doing knocking on my door at this hour?" They reply with, "We're looking for Carl." I tell them we both know there's no Carl here and start asking them questions one after another. Ex. What's your names? Where do you live? What's in your backpacks? They got really nervous. I told them they were being recorded and that i was going to call the police and give them the recordng and told them never come back here. They hightailed it down the street. All the while, the dogs were going crazy and showing their teeth through the door opening (gotta love the dogs). I'm thinking they won't be back.
 
We live at far edge from county sherrif patrol area, so I told better half that if she needed police in a hurry to tell them someone got shot. GTX, good show!!!!! I don't even know my CCW#, too much talking!!
 
Love the dogs, an early warning system @ a min.
 
What's this with the CCW number? I never give up my element of surprise. Do you have Castle Doctrine laws?

And while you're waiting 30 minutes or more for the cops to show up, you can have your unicorn attack the intruder while you throw magic pixie dust and sing Kumbaya.

Something gives me the hit birdshot is not in the equation:)
 
Shotguns are good for home defense but not in every circumstance. The only time they are effective is if you're going to stay in your room, call the police, and not move anywhere. If you have kids you might need to check on, or are the type of person who is going to search the house, a long gun of any kind is a bad idea.

Best case is a home invader will hear you coming and leave. Worst case, which is what you should always plan for, is the invader hears you and ambushes you. If the invader grabs the muzzle of a long gun, they just turned it into eight pounds of waste as the can control where it is pointed as they'll have all the leverage. Instinctively you'll use both hands to control the weapon while your opponent gets to use one hand to push the muzzle away from them and the other hand to brandish a knife or handgun.

The best all-around home defense weapon is a handgun with ambidextrous controls that allow you to unsafe the weapon and fire it with either hand.

Still having a problem letting go that little old tea party revolt back in the Boston in 1773 aren't you? Yeah, bet it was a real surprise to old King George that a bunch of armed farmers, shop keepers and trappers had a mind of their own and gun control wasn't part of it.
