[Robby321]

well lets say ten shot or is it a streat sweaper. first slug, the 00 buck,000 buck,back to slug,then 00 then 000.... get the idea... till drum is full... damn did i say drum.... all well

A "drum Street sweeper, 12" , will for sure have ya talking to the feds, and kiss yer aszz goodby, courts!, if used. Reg pump, store bought, legal?..thats "fine..(and do a buck round, a "Sabot", and buck r...("never mind"..then carry "it", to the water, a toss it off the dock, the right tides..).......

Just my .02 but I wouldn't use any slugs for home defense. The WILL OVER PENETRATE. Not much they won't go through. But otherwise a 12ga is great for the home.

best home defense is garlic and a doberman , i planted garlic all around the house and hav'nt had a werewolf since, been raising dobermans for 2 decades and hav'nt had a sumbich problem

This dude just wants to get his carry license.......he doesn't want to shoot anybody. He needs a small easy to use semi auto so he won't be restricted to a revolver on his license.

If somebody breaks into my house, I don't want a gun.......they won't suffer enough!!! (but I am 6'5" 280#)

I am sure the garlic and doberman trick works fine too, but the smell would take some getting used to.

Thanks for all the info/opinions guys! I kinda have it narrowed down to the Kel-Tek P-22 .32, or the Rugar LCP .38...Opinions on either??? As far as revolvers go, does anyone know of a light, compact piece in the same weight range as these? 7-12 ounces! Also can anyone reccomend what type of rifle for in home/ property use?? Thanks...Al...

ACAMS: "This dude just wants to get his carry license.......he doesn't want to shoot anybody." No one should carry a gun without the prior knowledge they could use it to kill someone. Dealing with that later is a different matter, but mental prep should be done for that fact. Otherwise don't carry. And a good beating to someone is always good for basics, but the quickest and most effective methods should be used when family is at stake (just my opinion).

ViperGTS: "A hit with a .22 is far better than a miss with a .45". Go shoot some good pistols/firearms of choice and decide what is best for you to shoot and your application. Also, if you can't enjoy practicing with it, then it probably won't work well. Have you made any progress in your search?

Yes CLTH, Look above your last post...My 2 best friends go to ranges so I will learn how to properly handle mine.. If ya dont know how to use it properly and safley, you shouldnt own one!! Al

If anyone hasnt heard about the Petit murders in CT, give this a look! It is absolutley horrifying this could happen to anyone...This IS the SOLE REASON I am buying a firearm...Al..PS..Thats a 1/2 hour from my home!!http://topics.nytimes.com/top/refere...ily/index.html

If you HAVE to shoot your weapon in your home... If possible, lay on the floor and shoot upward at the intruder. Less of a chance of shooting thru a wall and killing a family member. Also take aim and close your eyes before discharging. After firing you will still have some night vision, if you need to shoot again you wont be blinded by the flash of the first round. Tips given to me by friend in law enforcement.... Might help in some situations...

Skip the Kel Tec, I have one and they are built really cheap. The Ruger LCP is the same design built alot better.

[QUOTE=Forkin' Crazy;2095778]Bigger is better!!! 32 is where I'd draw the line on a self defense weapon. In shooting trials, anything under .40 you have to double tap (so I hear from my cop buddies).

I would rather have a double shot derringer in 38 special or better.[/QUOTE]

I agree. My favorite pocket gun. With a 15 shot 9mm back up of course.

[HStream1]

And my prefered in home with Laser of course and many other back up's.

The best home defense is for everyone in the area to know that if you go to "that house" you will get KILLED.
