guns, Guns, GUNS!
#51
RE: guns, Guns, GUNS!
I have a pump-action 12-gauge shotgun that is used occasionally for trap shooting but whose primary purpose is as a last line of home defense (in my neighborhood this is not paranoid of me). I keep it unloaded and locked away during daytime hours or when I am not home. At night, it's loaded and ready. I doubt it would come to a shootout in the event of a break-in because there is not another sound in the world that would be confused with the sound of a shotgun being racked. That alone would deter all but the most determined intruder/attacker. But if the shit really hit the fan, I'll take a shotgun at close range over a handgun any day. I'd hate to have to shoot someone, but given a dire situation in which it was me/mine versus some predator, I wouldn't hesitate.
