home defense
Self-defense (self-defence primarily in British English) is a countermeasure that involves defending the health and well-being of oneself from harm. The use of the right of self-defense as a legal justification for the use of force in times of danger is available in many jurisdictions.
Just typing out some thoughts on gear, being that I am a gear-whore, and a gear maker to boot... :rolleyes:
Of course the situations will always be fluid, and it will always be a mess of variables.... That said; Here are some examples of gear that may work, or may not work. I am primarily...
I'm thinking about building or buying a pistol caliber AR pistol; possibly even a Sig MPX. Better do it before the politicians tell me I can't. I built my carbine length AR but have a feeling this is a whole different animal. I'm looking for opinions and reviews on lower brands, barrel lengths...
I am now wondering if technology has reached the point where it is plausible to employee multiple Tasers for interior home defense?
Does anybody manufacture a multiple shot taser? With perhaps a laser pointer or a very bright mini flood light replacing a lethal firearm?

Hey ya'll! I've got a 12 gauge shotgun that is for home defense. I live in a "apartment", where i am connected to 2 other houses. Suggested rounds to use?
We have an HR shotgun, 12 gauge, short barrel, semi auto home defense style. Black synthetic stocks, black metal, has 4 interchangeable choke tubes. Round count is probably less then 1 box of shells. Only asking $275 since the gun does not come with the box in the picture.
I have been wondering. Does the shot count in shotguns matter that much when it comes to a home defence situation? Currently all my shells are 8 shot but is there any reason I may wanna go to say 4 shot? Can't imagine penetration is that much different between them (not as in its safe just the...
Hi! My name is Grey. I'm a pretty new gun owner interested in hunting, personal and home defense as well as defending vulnerable communities. I am a 30 year old genderqueer individual. I bought my first gun right around election time because I didn't feel safe, and I didn't feel I could rely...

I am in the market for a cheap multi-use shotgun. It will probably spend most it's life in a bedroom closet. I also would like to have the versatility to hunt birds with it if I am ever in a pinch for a better suited gun ( I have bird hunting guns, just about 500 miles away). The best option I...
Target Acquired: 6 Best Shotguns For Home Defense
Agree / Disagree with the list
Without going down the a .45 is better ... path, please.
My list:
The shotgun you have. Even if it is just a single shot.
So, having just moved here from the gunshine state, I'm used to things being...different.
Sbrs with cans and frangible ammo on carbines are standard practice for home defense.
Explain Oregon to me. I come from stand your ground, save your family, talk to the police and be home in time for...
In the few short months I've been shooting my handgun, I've come to the realization that if I'm going to be a serious gun nut, I've got to have a decent rifle.
Since I don't hunt, I'd want one with a smaller caliber. I don't want a .22, since we've already got one from my father-in-law, which...
