a bulldog kicks but in a hall way or bed room you aint tryin to plink cans at 25 yards.

Even if ya miss the noise will scare the toejame out of umm.

in close quarters you dont aim.

A shotgun sounds all good but where are going to put it? How ya gonna get to it?

In my .357 I have 158 grain hollow point hydro-shok,  you dont need to worry about overpenetration.

Anyway its a matter of choice.......

laz is right for a someone who hasn't handled a gun go for a revolver.

Frangible ammo will also prevent over-penetration. It's more expensive  but worth it if you have such considerations. Whatever you end up buying make sure you are serious about using it and train with it or else the guy will just end up taking it way from you and shoving it up your prettythang.

Hey Mos
   The best thing to do is find out which one you are most comfertable with. If you have some friends with any arms, try them out, see which ones you handle the best. There are some gun stores that have test guns also. When looking at Sig arms and Glock, they are both good, colts are ok. You can take a Glock and drag it for miles in the dirt and it will 99% of the time fire with no problem. Sig's are excelent, they have a double trigger pull. First shot is a long pull of the hammer, after that, if you don't de-cock it, ther rest are quick trigger squeeze. I own 2 Sig 229's (one a .357 sig and other a 40 S&W) and use a Sig 228 on duty. You can also look towards smaller arms like the Beretta or 38 special. Also think about getting a lock box or a gun safe, you never can be to cautious with arms.

Untrue- my sister is a single mother with twin teenage boys and they didn't beat HER with a baseball bat- they beat the Republican couple who lived across the street from their Section 8 housing.

Even though Roscoe and Oscar are only 17 and this is only the second time they've been arrested for assault the judge threw the book at them- he confinscated their X-Box. Of course the ACLU has stepped in and we've appealed the punishment as being cruel and unusual, but this makes me wonder how Draconian we can get as a society and not allow our children a third or fourth chance.

I might move to France.

wotan... I just meant that if he gets a bulldog he won't spend time shooting it.   I wore two blue bulldogs out with hot reloads but most don't like the recoil and it cuts the web of most folks hand.

mossberg 5500 semi-auto pistol grip, 18" barrel.

dispels all myths about unweildy shotguns.

Very effective weapon, and perfect for situations where 'home defense' is in fact the issue..

Gotta go with the shotgun... At six feet, it won't knock 'em down. It'll cut 'em in half.

Wha??? Who's the ....  recommending .22's for home defense? .223? nah...9mm, well not so bad, but still no stopping power unless...

You buy one of those 9mm Lugers from Cornerd Rat Guns-N-Stuff.

I hear there 100% effective at upt 300 yrds. 1 shot.



Seriously, you should do a liberal check in your state and local area before shooting perps. Recently we had a Newspaper delivery guy loading up the paper machines a gas station in a bad area of town. He witnessed a fella sticking up the gas station, gun to the head and all that. He calmly went to his truck, retrieved his pistola, walked into the gas station and put 3 into the bandito. The guy was on the floor twitching and squirming, so he put 2 more in him. No robbery, no lawsuits, no charges. Very very grateful gas station attendant though, said something about owing him his life.

the 2 extra shots would've probably got him quite a few years in the pen in this part of the country
