 guns for self defense

Homedad
Colt Python, Ruger 223 mini-14, 12 ga pump. Reliability ease of use in High stress situation and massive firepower.
You MUST practice with the tools and KNOW them well. And practice. Did I mention PRACTICE? The nice thing about the Colt is the wife can use 38 special +p+ if she is intimidated by the recoil of the 357. The mini is powerful and must be regarded with care because of penetration but is easy to use. 12 ga will kick.

Gentlemen
I was respoding to the question of MY preference. The question was what would I use. In my sitution I actually have a 308 fn-fal and 40 glock by my bed. A little farther is the Python,Ruger and Rem 1100. I have 2 "Outside" dogs and two "inside" dogs so unless a true NINJA Warrior is after me I will have a little time to wake and asses the situation. When I have been awakened I go for the Colt and a Sure fire Flashlight. I like choices. I dont want to tell you how much I spend on ammo, lets just say I reload to shoot more not to save money.
Every one has to make a decision about their sitution and act on it. "My" preference for the three stands. My advice is whatever "YOU" get PRACTICE PRACTICE PR... you get the picture. Just last week a Black Bear was in a tree 10 yards from the house. All 4 dogs did their job and I did mine with a 9mm that was the closest tool handy. Just scared him off. I would have preferred the 308 but the 9 with 15 rounds of Corbon Might have slowed him down enough to give me time to get upstairs. It just goes to show you never can tell.

 guns for self defense

Greetings to Dcsmith
I am not paranoid. I live in rural Virginia. I have had occasion to confront persons in the middle of the night who were threatening me on my property, Twice. I have also had to confront Bears and Rabid animals.
You may be interested to know that Handgun Control says 63,000 times a year guns are used to protect their owners. Other studies put the number in the millions. So somewhere between 63k and 2 million times a year guns are used to SAVE lives in this Still FREE Country.
My paranoia comes from people who who want to tell me what I can and cannot do to protect my self and my family and my property. Yes Property. I worked for it and I believe if you want to take it from me by force I have the right to KILL for it. Insurance means it is being stolen from a whole bunch of people(shared risk) not just me. So its ok just steal all my stuff that I have worked for. Its not worth a human life.
I could not disagree more. "From each according to their ability ,to each according to their needs" Right?
I dont think so.
