Which Home Defense Weapon?

[Warthog]

Have a Plan, and practice it. Know whats behind that wall. You have to figure where your shots are going to be taken. I have a house full of kids, so there are some places in my house I cant shot toward. Even with hollow points of buck shot, it not worth the chance of collateral damage. You know your house better than anyone, so you should know where your security is the weakest, doors, windows. Practice in the dark, and make sure your kids know what to do as well. All of my children have been instructed to get low, stay in their rooms and call 911 if you can.

For home protection does anyone use lights/lasers? I have heard both pros and cons to both. What do you think?

 

[coctailer]

I use a Trident for home defense...............Good enough for Poseidon........Good enough for me.

Yeah. Turn on the lights and shoot them with a laser.

ancient weapons are no substitute for a good blaster at your side.

Regular or sugarless?

 

[coctailer]

Regular or sugarless?

you have seen me, so you know I don't do sugarless

I seriously thought a 9mm SBR AR-15 with a silencer would be perfect.

It would be a nightmare to wake the kids with gunfire.

I was even thinking NV would be good. Use the darkness to your advantage.

Just spendy........

A Trident with Night vision! You Rule!
Knowing you, you'd probably have a Full Auto Trident.

I have the TLR-1 on my HK, Crimson Trace grips on my .38, and soon to have a light on the 870. Chances are the bad guys aren't going to fumble for the light switch, so I'll blind em first. Down side is light or laser, you let anyone else know exactly where you are.

hold the light high above your head toward the intruder with one hand, and your handgun in the other. (If you choose a HG for HD)

I'm not a fan of lights attached to guns.

 

[jordanvraptor]

I'll just use grenades...

 

[Tactical SS]

Yeah, I prefer the M203 on the AR over the light

I was thinking sharp lawn-dart with atalatal for added "boost."

I keep a CT laser on a .38 spl loaded w/ Hydrashock in a bed-holster and a Surefire tac light on the night stand next to my cellphone. Three dogs supply early warning and there are two exits from our bedroom.

 

[RallySoob]

HK USP 40 w/ 28rnd mag + Flash Light - AR15 close by...

 

[servingu]

if you get past the dogs I will meet you with a mossberg breaching shotgun loaded w/ 000 buck my wife has the g-17 w/32rds of silver

 

[XD45]

H&K USP .40 (14 Winchester SXT, with second clip of 13 Hornaday TAP close by) with tactical Light on the wifes side, .45 XD Compact (11 rounds of CORBON, with 13 rounds of Hornaday TAP as my backup mag) on my side with Surefire Flashlight next to it. Under my bed is my Benelli 12 gauge.

 

[PhysicsGuy]

Just FYI guys, you might not want to be too revealing about the exact location of defensive weapons of other details of your home.

 

[pirateer2007]

I second that, physics guy.

 

[swoop]

I third that, but I will say that I have enough to stop anything from this planet.

You have anti aircraft, and anti tank weapons?
