I've seen Abbott's targets. He shoots OK, but his mobility is limited. While I trust him to run the state, I would not hire him for home defense. Besides, I don't think he is looking for a side job right now.

That may be, but he generally doesn’t travel alone either. He’s probably accompanied by several close armed friends.

You are right, C-dub. The Governor and His Posse! Great home defense AND a great name for a heavy metal band!!

There is no "best" home defense tool. If you choose to use a firearm for home defense, I suggest you select the tool with which you are proficient, with which you can and will practice/train, and which is practical for your home situation. My wife and I each use our EDC pistol for home defense. We secure any pistol which we are not carrying. We are proficient and trained in the use of this tool which is practical for us. Your mileage will vary.
