Sight Gauge

What's your weapon of choice for home defense?

I like a short-barelled 12-gauge pump shotgun with a pistol grip and "00" buckshot, and a trusty old Colt 1911 .45 with a laser sight. A samurai sword is my last-ditch backup if I run out of bullets.

1. Nun-chucks are unrivaled in the home protection market.
2. not bad. I like a 12 gauge 19 inch barrel double with double triggers and oo buck and a 44 magnum.
3. Just the prayer.
4. snakes in a house that will scare them to death...
5. Unless you live in a rough neighborhood, your chances of having a home intruder are slim to none. Generally an attack dog is more than you'll need to deter intruders. They don't know you are packing, but they will know you have a dog that will wreck their day if they break in.
6. rem. 3000 deffender 12ga. pump and my 357.mag s/w.with the black talons
7. Benelli Assult style short stock and long magizine 12 gauge with tactical flash light with finger switch. Several different loads OO is to strong and makes a lot of sheetrock wall stud repair. Stick to lighter loads and finish the armed robber off with my H&K P7-M13.
8. I like a 38 cal. police special. I keep it loaded under my mattress.
9. sick em fifi
10. short barelled 5 gauge shotgun. 9mm beretta. my fisties. :]
11. A wet sock full of shit....no just joking I prefer the Remington 870 wingmaster pump, with 00 buck. Also a fan of the M1911A1. That unmistakable sound of a round chambering is the international languge for "Go Away' and is usually followed by the unique sound of someone soiling themselves the universal language for "oops"
12. Pretty much the same as you. I like a short-barreled 12-gauge too, but I would rather have a shoulder stock. Standard home defense load would be two 00 buck shells followed up by a flat nosed deer slug. The way I figure, if the buckshot doesn't drop an intruder after two blasts, it's time to up the ante, which a deer slug would do nicely.
