I like guns.

On my nightstand sits a .45acp, between the nightstand and bed stands the Benelli stoked with 7 rounds of 12ga 2 3/4 00 buck. Access to reloads for both are also handy. For my home I have determined that those are the most efficient means of protection. I do not have any long range shots I will need to take within the confines of my house. Home defense is a personal decision and preference. Go with what you are most comfortable with and can shoot most accurately and make yourself familiar with the fire controls and safety operations. I do not foresee having a need for the AR or AK but I could get to them if I had to.

Winning hearts and minds. 2 + 1

That's a phrase coined by those who want to wage war without killing the enemy.

Not exactly. 2 to the heart, 1 to the head.

I enjoy opposing views, but we're gonna need a little more than that.

Sorry, but I had to get to work. The quote was that "magnum" shotshells do not have more power. I just looked up 2 loads in one of my old reloading manuals. One was a 2 3/4" 1 1/2 oz. load in a certain WW casing. It showed 34 grains of SR4756 as maximum. In the same WW shell casing in 3" it showed 1 7/8 oz. with 36.5 grains of SR4756. Which has more power? If you are talking about velocity you will in some cases be correct, but not always. Power? There is more available in the 3" magnum and now even more available in the 3 1/2" magnums.

but for inside the home protection, it seems to me a shotgun with the proper load would have more knock down ability than an AR15 with 5.56 or possibly .308 due to the penetrating ability of the smaller round.

.......what?

And for the record numbnuts, it's not whether you're right or wrong, it's your stupid attitude.

I can solve this problem. I know which weapon is best.


The one that is closest and available when you need it.

Guns are icky.

I am protected by the armor of righteousness.
