Showing Original Post only (View all)What is your home defense firearm? [View all]
What is your main go to firearm for the home?
Also where do you keep it?
My current favorite is my M&P 9c with a full sized 17rd magazine with the X-grip. I was marginal accuracy wise with my 9c until I bought the full sized mag, now it's like a totally different gun and I've revived it for the home defense role. I'm wanting to get a set of night sights for it now. At night it sleeps on my headboard with my 150 Lumen torch and my glasses.
We have two mini dachshunds that are caged trained that serve as great little alarm systems for our first line of defense.

I guess I could give a good account with the Zulu Assagia hanging on the wall.

Something with a proven ability to knock down Moros (and any crazed person regardless of size).

And to be fair, all religious fanatics may be hard to stop. Even those not trying to kill you.

What a dumb question to answer in public, especially if you actually need self-defense.

Everyone whose home is invaded probably thought much the same thing, until it happened.
