So how many folks here would grab your favorite AR as your preferred home defense weapon above all else? In other words, someone is busy attempting to make entry, what is in your hand?

I guess I am old school as my first weapon of choice is a S&W.40, followed by a folding stock 870. Unless the Zombie Apocalypse is upon us, my ARs sit in the safe.

The girlfriend is wicked mean with a Mossberg SA-20. You don't want to piss her off.

Shotgun first for me


I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects

I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

I like my Smith & Wesson AR pistol. 223 with the 7.5" barrel and a Streamlight green laser. Stupid easy to put green dot on said life threatening intruder and eliminate the threat.

Their throat would be in my hand, but I guess I'm really old school and really mean..

Can on that? An AR is loud enough. Short ones inside = pain and permanent damage

I like the idea of varmint bullets from a bullpup, but I'm fastest with a shotgun. It isn't even close. Training bleeds over.

G23 with 165 hollow points eighteen inches away alongside a flashlight as I lay in bed. Various accouterments scattered about the homestead safe and within reach no matter where the Alamo might be. I know what the wife would grab; a Mossberg Ute Model pump full of 2 3/4” #3 buck. Unless I beat her to it. Across a room 20 pellets will be nasty. HOWEVER I have all the components for a short AR except a dot. It may stay at hand upon completion.
