In reply to the discussion: What is your home defense firearm? [View all]gordianot
(15,300 posts)18. Aluminum kiddie Louisville slugger followed by single action 44 magnum.
First 3 rounds metal flechetts in custom load who ever gets hit they are inoperable followed by 3 44 special hollow points. I have never fired the fleschetts knowing they will ruin the barrel. The reason I use the 44 magnum in single action, it is also a hunting gun and am well practiced. I keep gun shoulder rig so I can use bat first. One 38 under the bed and pump shot gun ready in closet under lock and key. My go to rig is in a drawer in a locked room. Even though I have conceal carry permit I will not conceal carry. Firearms are not for use on humans. Home invasion will be met by stiff resistance human or otherwise I approach it as an either or situation.

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.
