Good read. I think the MOST IMPORTANT part of the article is at the end, "pick something and practice".

Yes, and it should be a gauge and not a caliber. Just sayin yo

Good read. It really boils down to something that you feel comfortable with which will increase your confidence. The argument of what is the best for home defense will go one forever. So find a platform that you are comfortable with and practice the poop out of it!

Well I guess we don't have it that bad...

 

I read this article with great interest. I live in England and we are not allowed to defend ourselves or our homes. Indeed, if you punch an intruder you’ll wind up being arrested for it. I own a shotgun here, but I must keep it in a locked gun safe, unloaded with the ammo in a different locked compartment. Good luck to me and my family if a criminal (who doesn’t follow the law) breaks in with their own shotgun, or even a knife. I guess I’ll have to tell my daughter she must be raped and killed for the good of the community, and the safety of the nation!

Great article. Past weekend I just decided to switch to a rifle from a hand gun as the go to hd gun.

I read an article awhile ago talking about wounds made by home defense weapons/rounds/loads. One comment from the story that I remember well was; 12 Gauge 00 will leave a fist size hole in the intruder. Nuff said.
