Question for all, what do you use for home defense?

[Edward2]

38. revolver under the pillow with two speed loaders. Aluminum bat on her side. 32.semi above the closet entrance. Pepper spray in the bed side drawer.

[Dogman]

Rem. 870 00-buck, .45's and 9mm's spread out in the house.

the first would be my mossberg 500, just the sound of it racking will deter most burglars. next the kahr p9 in my nightstand. next my wifes beretta 92fs in her night stand. we have a 2 story house so the perp would have to come upstairs to get to us.

[Hounddog]

An old 1930's vintage .45 Smith & Wesson 1917 revolver with Glaser Safety Slugs. It was one of the Brazilian contract revolvers that came back to this country in the 1980's. I figure seeing that big hole might stop things from happening, and the news media couldn't say much about a 70 year old gun.

[Weirqat]

Colt combat commander in cal .45, Mossberg 500 a w/ alternating rounds of 00 buck and sabot slugs. Also have a Mosin - Nagant in 7.62 x 54R loaded w/ 203 gr hps...........Really do not want to be the victim.

our first line other than locking up the doors and windows are my stoeger cougar 8040, or my ruger p89 9mm, that are within arms reach, and those are just to make my way to the closet to get my mossy 500 persuader 12 ga loaded with 00 buck. the wife also has her pink lady .38 spl handy. we also have other weapons strategically placed within our domicile.

[GottaBeAh.40]

A .40 caliber Taurus 24 7 Pro DS with Speer 180gr JHP Gold Dots, and lots of um. Oh, and a Mag lite mini, so I can see what I'm do'n.

[L1D3N]

I have my .40cal on my bedside table, my 9mm next to my computer and soon a .45cal on me when outside the home. (don't know what I'm getting yet)

I have a 12 guage pump that trumps them all for home defense, Bertha the boomstick!
I agree though with the other poster, whatever firearm is the closest at the moment.

[tomasco]

Mossberg 500 w/00buck, Hi Point .45, big black Labrador

We have video cams on each corner of the house, recording 23 hours and 59 minutes a day, with 100 feet of night vision. Then in the house there is me, have 40s&w on me from the time I wake till the time I go to bed if not on my hip it's hanging from my shoulder, plus we have two Alaskan Malamutes, one weighs in at 185 lbs the other at 140 lbs. I sleep with a 9mm by the bed, there are other guns around the house that the Mrs and I can get to if needed. Because of the dogs there are night lights in almost every room of the house. And on top of that we live in a pretty good neighborhood, not that I count on that as you can tell.
