The skull is problematic. It would not be my first choice due to that.

FIFY!99% chance of a wrongful death lawsuit regardless; according to the former 2a lawyer and author who provided a training event I attended some time ago.

Better than you or your family being harmed...
I suppose that means I better not have any with vanity serials like 347MYD1CKJ4Y, either... lolAs for an AR for home defense, I don't have a problem with that, and I doubt a jury would have an issue so long as it's legitimate self-defense. But, I do agree with what others have said - lose the skulls, "Molan Labe" engravings, etc. Last thing you want to do is give some snotty prosecutor a reason to show you are looking forward to such an event.

Simple...What has our country turned into?
If you prefer your G34 for HD, why not take it out of the safe and place it on the nightstand when going to sleep? You can take your shield out of the safe in the morning when you put the G34 back.My choice for HD is a G34 with a TLR-3. But to be honest, I'm sure I'd just grab my 9mm Shield as its the only one not locked up in the safe when I sleep.

Being possibly outgunned is a consideration, but theres another part of this appearance thing that Im not certain has been brought up.... The appearance of your actions during the event.
So you chose an evil black gun or whatever scary monstosity you want... But what did you do to avoid using it?
....so you hear someone in your house, did you bring the fight to the bad guy, or did you do everything you could to get away and avoid using it?
I totally get that we need to watch our appearance and what gun or firearm we use. But I am the type that I would rather have more and not need it than less and need it.
So if you or I stop a threat with a pistol but have a 12 gauge slung across your back I am sure there are people and attorney's that would say why so much fire power? (this is where you would want to laugh and say "you aint seen nothing yet" but can't!)
It is sad that it has come down to this. Our military, politicians and many high falutin people are protected by said evil black guns but we will be judged for doing the same!! What has our country turned into?
This phenomena occurs in the military too; we called it...
Economy of Force; I didn't like it either..
Examples (military axioms):
Not using tank munitions on troop targets in the open; use the .240B.
Not dropping a MOAB on 1 foxhole emplacement; use an AT4.
Not using a rifle against a T-72; use another tank, drone, hellfire, or gunship.
Oregon law (the way it was explained to me) would allow Granny to obliterate a younger, stronger, bigger, burly man, with any means possible, but that same man would have a tough time convincing a jury that he had to obliterate (much less taze) "poor old granny".....
So, I'm suggesting that the choice to make; be tailored to the threat, as much as possible.
I take my carry gun and put it on my night stand every night! My guess is its the easiest to get to which is why he does that. I also have my Canik with a light on it sitting in a lock box that is usually open for easy access. I would grab my Canik if time allows but my carry gun I can reach with out getting out of bed.
So it really comes down to time and the threat. I could be wrong but knowing @Kruejl I bet I am close.
