I, and I suspect that most, would much rather use a shotgun or rifle if possible. Only trouble with having to rely on those is a matter of location. It is much easier to have a handgun handy than a long gun. Those 5 to 10 seconds it takes to get the big gun could be 4 to 9 seconds too slow.Beiruty wrote:While carrying at home is a bit "freaky" for the average joe, or soccer mom, I can see where this is plausible. However, if someone does not feel safe in his house, I would say it is the time to move out to a better place. In case, this option is not possible for whatever reason, An AK, or Shotgun is a better home defense option. Carrying a Pistol at home maybe an option. However, at home I would say you should all the time be able to retrieve your shotgun or your preferred home defense weapon, if this is not possible, security measures are to be reviewed.

Re: Woman Dies After Home Invasion Shooting
I can remember stories where people who carried a gun in their own homes were considered paranoid. 30 years ago I thought that was a possibility, not case for the last decade or so.
