Keep in mind that in home defense, you want to dissuade or stop the intruder, not blow holes through the brick in the house and kill your neighbor across the street.

That is why a scatter gun loaded with bird or vermin shot is very popular. Many people load 1-2 shells of heavy bird shot in first to dissuade/repel the intrusion, the 00 buck after that for the kill, if necessary.

Helps a lot if they try to come after you for a homicide if you can show you at least tried to not kill him.

I live in the country, nobody around for a mile but a couple people but me and the wife, she has a ruger LCP 380 with viridian laser

I also have a remington 870 police with trijicon night sites and 00

I tend to only buy the best, buy once cry once, why not you don't live forever

I’m all for home defense, but what exactly are you prepping for here?

Overkill.

basically yeah, by the time I call 911 to get a sheriff to my house it will be long over

I don't expect any trouble but prepared for it in case

Mine has mini slugs and buckshot
 
Is that a gun on your couch, or are you just happy to see me?😁
LOL, top notch tricked out AR and handgun, minus my shotgun and a host of other things just in case

not preparing for war but if war comes to me, I should have a fighting chance

better overkill than under, depends on where you live

small town that is quiet, probably not so much, out in the boonies with no help, certainly be prepared for end times
 
The first layer of defense involves making your home a harder target than other homes on the block... exterior lighting... quality locks on doors and windows and a security system or a dog.....
If you need more...
I suggest a small caliber handgun like a Glock 42 which I keep in my bed end table...

all correct but that works if you are in town on a block, that's tossed out in the country

bedroom, HK P2000 with trijicon in .40, should suffice! love that gun, fit and finish is just so precise

mercedes style with a toyota engine...

I should have included to get your butt out of an America war zone... When I noticed window and door security gates going on businesses in my quiet California neighborhood... I packed up and moved to Northern AZ where I can drive to the grand canyon and back in one day... Which I did today...

good choice, I live in a very free state for the past 20 years on purpose and did the same thing, left a blue state

I don't expect any riff raff but don't be caught not prepared either, weirdo's are everywhere
 
If you only wound them expect them to sue you. You want their aorta plastered on the ceiling and falling in your shower to bleed out. True story.

depends on the state, if they are on your property and being aggressive to try and kill you and rob you it's your right to defend yourself, you can kill them but if you want to not kill and wound and have LE show up to clean up the mess you should be good

don't expect this in CA, NY, CT, MA because now you are the accused for defending your life and property and will need to go to court
 
I've a 350 lb boar with 4" tusks that can outrun most folks.......~S~
