When to use what for self defense.

But come on... All I think for a burglar would just be the sight of one...

Is that the door I hear slamming?

You hope that's the case, but it's most often not. The increase in "Occupied Home Burglaries" is truely astounding. Criminals are getting more brazen and are more willing to use violence than I've seen in my past twenty years.

I'll take the Shotgun if given a choice, thank you.

Damage from shotgun blasts is not covered in your homeowner's policy.

My son has handloaded the new Barnes Varmint Grenade bullet in .223 for use in his AR-15. These bullets cause very wicked wounds.

I would just rely on my Glock 17. But I have a shotgun available for backup, loaded with copper plated BB shells.

I know I will get hammered for this, but here goes:

I have a P-22 with a silencer and a laser ( sighted in at 7 meters/21 feet, for home defence 6 feet is the best).

The laser eliminates the need for light (open sights need light:rolleyes:), and puts the fear of God in most bad guys that have ever watched TV.
You can also aim over an obstical, while looking around/under the obstical. This hides/shifts your positon by a few feet.

The silencer (Ase Utra) will prevent damage to you and your loved ones hearing and prevent trauma for the younger ones.

I know that saving your life is more important than your hearing, but why not?
Another positive about using a silencer is that family members, that are not used to firing a gun in close quarters (Who is:confused:), can also fire in self defence, without loosing consertration due to decible overload.

For some reason you dont want the neighbors to call 911 before you do:rolleyes: a silencer is a VERY good idea!



The choice of caliber is up for grabs! Of course a 9mm., .45, 12 gauge or a .357 will destroy tissue (I have them all) in a manner that we all want to see an intruder suffer. But the recoil and blast is way to much for a non military/police person, in a life and death to fire with any amount of accuracy.

But a .22 is "controllable" AND I think most crack heads would change there mind after a couple of shots in the face.
Shots to the head(Target= 15 inches wide at 6 feet) orifices(eyes, sinus and mouth) will cause enough damage to deter most any assailant.

But now my family and I live in a place where my guns are locked away, and my doors are unlocked most of the time:D

Now Hammer me!



...and I´ll wip out my little .22..
 
Fortunately I'm one who has never had to kill someone but I know what I can shoot. I'm a good sized guy at 6'2" and around 200#'s. My 'go to' gun is a 9mm full of Black Talons. Why? Because I can control it better than a 1911 or .44 Mag. which have too much muzzle jump for follow up rounds.

13 rds. accurately placed or maybe one or two from a hand cannon, the choice is yours.
 
A few here will note that their posts have been deleted. That tends to happen when things get too personal and others are trying to keep it civil.

I strongly suggest that those involved take the hint. ;)
