If you carry daily, consistently and you’re not carrying a hand cannon, you don’t know it’s there, becomes natural. I never even think about it unless I take a nap and I rarely do that.
Use the G17 on my hip to get me the 18 feet to the 870P full of 4 buck and a couple of slugs. Or the 10 feet to the tomahawk by the stove. That would be fun...
Ruger Super Blackhawk 44 magnum, and while this is SAO it might be my second choice to a Colt Model 70 Gov't series 1911 45 auto. that's just beside my 'puter.
Am I in the car? Or am I standing outside? Or am I inside my house? What makes you think there are only 2 choices?
Because if I am in my vehicle (Ford F-250 diesel) I have a razor sharp KaBar in the side door panel and I'm going to slash the punk across the neck or face immediately. If I am home a 12 ga pump is by the door. If I am out in town outside the vehicle I will use what I can grab fastest which varies from day to day.

Two second guarantee ? You’re a master
You should know, your ass looks like an overstuffed cannoli. Lmao

As in Renegade? Whatever bro
Pretty sure Ren would mop the floor with your ass, good thing it’s the internet. Keep on fluffing, lmao.
I’d have a bit more time than 2 seconds......home access (driveway) and perimeter motion detectors! That said, 3 or 4 seconds away, a Springfield XDS 45 ACP. The wife, a Sig 928....2 to 3 seconds away.
The motion detectors give more than adequate time to access an AR and a Winchester 12 ga. Defender.....both ready for service! memtb

Out in the field irrigating. Soo... 17 hmr would have to do. Or I could throw about 6 empty Coors Light cans at them. No way I'm waisting the full ones...
Glock 43 loaded with 147 grain Federal HST. That's for fighting my way to the closet to retrieve my Benelli Super Nova Tactical loaded with Federal Flight Control 00 buckshot.
We don’t even lock our doors. 7 houses on our gravel road, and 4 are relatives. Keep a loaded 17hmr by the back door to shoot groundhogs or rabbits out of the garden and to intimidate the daughters boyfriend, So I guess a rogue band of home invaders would get that.
One of the scams in the Baton Rouge greater area had been 2 black guys dressed with tactical gear and tags and badges hung around their necks like Dog the Bounty Hunter and posing as cops serving a warrant. They’ve hit well to do areas and generally hit several homes in a day,
Folks open their door to them and the robbery is on.

Who the hell opens the door for two darkies with 511 gear on? I feel they had it coming...
2 seconds, M&P 9mm with 18 rounds of 147 HST. Then on to another M&P in 40 cal with 16 rounds of 180 HST. Then an 870 youth 20 gauge with #3 buck. Not counting the German Shepherd and various cutting instruments handy. That is just in the bedroom. I could hold up here a while.
Like many, my answer would depend on where in the house I was when the thugs' poorly conceived seige took place. I'm in my basement now, so if my heavy glass slider got smashed in, it'd be either a pickaxe, an 8 lb sledgehammer or a beat up pistol grip 500 pumpgun loaded with 1.5 oz of 3" steel goose BBs. If I had a few seconds to evaluate and saw three skinny, weakling crackheads, I might opt for a large can of Lysol and a Bic lighter. Or a fire extinguisher. Or a heavy brass lamp. Or a rusty machete. Anyone with experience with violent physical encounters knows you use what you've got and go straight madman until the threat is no more. Mrs. KG on a flight to Asia once asked me what I'd do in a 'you know we're gonna' die scenario. 'I'd fight until they were dead or I was', I told her. 'With WHAT?', she asked. 'You're unarmed!' Nonsense. This belt buckle wrapped in a t-shirt is a mace. This pencil is something that'll ruin anyone's day if I drive it through their eye. Your thin leather belt is suitable for strangulating a man, as is a laptop power cord. If it made sense I'd suffocate a MF with a drycleaning bag...' 'Oh, OK Daddy!'

“They looked so official and had papers “.
They hit 2 smaller areas north and south of town also.
I would have plenty of warning , 5 dogs 3 outside and one wont even let me pet him .They got to kill them first .
Thats advanced warning system
Thanks for that. Best giggle I've had today. My labs would probably snarl, bare fangs and look all Hounds-From-Hades for about 12 seconds, then be all, 'the yum yums are on that counter, the big safe is in the study and the jewelry is in that room. So, let's begin with the yum yums, shall we?'
High Standard Model 10B in the computer room. Bedrooms there is usually a 45 Judge on the wife's side and a 38 special Colt or S&W on my side, but that is subject to mood or whatever I have been playing with or taken a fancy too lately.
Bersa .380. It’s literally putting a dimple in my ass as I type.
The Bersa Thunder! Great little pistol. I worked many years as a paramedic. Don't let anyone kid you, you DO NOT want to get hit with a .380 Especially not in the chest or the stomach.
XD 40 with buffalo bore rounds within reach at all times. Double barrel 12 ga at bedside. 20 ga pump & 22lr at front door. Winchester 94 30-30 & 22lr at back door. AR-15 in hallway. I'm ready👍 bring on the NAPA's
There is a S&W shield loaded with 147 gr HPs in the left hand drawer of the desk I'm sitting at. A 44 special just happens be be on a table behind me, it's not supposed to be there but I removed it from my truck when a friend borrowed the truck and haven't yet put it back 8 9s, and 5 44s and either they will be down or I will
Here at my kitchen bar where I have my command post all I have is an S&W 66 w/+P .38s and a 36 snubby with semi-wadcutters. If it begins back in my bedroom there is a Model 870 loaded with the first two coming out are non-lethal with the next 3 being magnum steel shot duck loads. Once that is exhausted there is an AK-47 loaded to the gills with hard stuff with hollow points. I would really prefer no problems but I stay pretty much in arms reach at home and pack outside.
I'm 160' off the road. I have a driveway alarm that chimes when a car or something enters the driveway. We don't pay much attention to it at night because deer set it off 3 or 4 times. My backup is my dog that will let me know if it's something other than wildlife. In that case I have a S&W pre model 10, .38 special right next to my recliner and a Mossberg 500, 12 gauge next to the bed if I've called it a night.
Thats actually happened to me between 3-4 AM when working in Texas. Three big thugs. I wasn't given the notice of an entry like the one in your scenario. They were already committing murder, rather trying to while I was sleeping in my bed . They weren't going to kill me since my boss was there. He's not called the Almighty Lord of Armies for nothing.
Right now I have with me multiple weapons that easily penetrates body armor and leaves massive wound channels. One for each hand.
That’s all your wife charges me, lmao. Chicken is chicken.
Thanks fro drilling that pilot hole, I’d hate to crack that [bleep].
SandBilly hit the drive thru and be like “I’ll have the number three. And the number one, and four and five and six and nine and 12 and I’ll be paying in change.”

Cause you know I’m alone. Lmao

You get anymore original I’m not sure I can take it. Fire up a sock puppet so you can suck yourself off some more. Lmfao
Lol...I'm at the office. We have a few 240's and 60,000 go-ready rounds. It would take me five minutes to remember the combinations though. G19 ain't to far away though and two really nice sets of cutlery between me and it.
2 seconds wouldn’t let any thug past the first pile of newspapers. I could finish breakfast before they got halfway across the living room. If one of the cats didn’t get them first, the smell would.
I should get the fridge fixed, it is so bad, I can’t hardly stand the smell.
With only 2 seconds I'd be trouble, but within 5 seconds they'd be in trouble. My thinking is, your a dumbazz if you don't have a firearm within arms length at all times.
Glock 26 w/ 17 rounds of 124 Gr HSTs always appendix-carried which gets me to my bedroom where my AR is ready to be dropped into battery with 1 of 6 loaded 30 round MAGs.
The possibility of that scenario occurring is so remote, I don't feel the need. To get to the house, which is not visible from the main road, they have to drive in on 1/2 of rough gravel driveway, open two creaky gates (without alerting the Airdale). At this point they have 125 yds to go before they get to the house. As I said, pretty unlikely. On the way to the house, they would have to deal with the Airdale. She won't bite but will annoy the hell out of anyone. GD
I guess I got hung up on the 2 second factor, it is both a conceivable problem and a solvable one. A timer would test your plan. A trained person can draw, target ID, discriminate, aim and fire a few shots in that time. When standing and waiting for the beep.
I just ran the scenario w/ my wife using the stopwatch on her phone in a motel room while seated in an armchair and wearing my G19 AIWB. 2 seconds is not much time, even when prepared to react.
Sitting at the desk in my home office, at the moment.
There is a 3" barreled Ruger GP100 .357 in the middle left desk drawer. It's fully loaded with 145 grain Silvertips.
There is a Ruger Mini-14 between the desk and the wall loaded with 20 rounds of 45 grain Ballistic Tips. I loaded it and put it there on election night last year, and it's been there since.
My bedroom has a Colt Combat Commander 1911 loaded with 200 grain Silvertips on the shelf under the nightstand tabletop. Also a Winchester 1200 Pump police riot gun is behind the nightstand loaded with 00 buckshot.
The two 90+ lb. Akitas will pretty much deter anyone other than law enforcement from entering.
If your dogs don't give you ore than 2 seconds warning, shoot the dog.
Mostly, mine guard the door to make sure no one leaves without them.
Mine do to, all I have to do is put my hat on. However if strangers broke in the door my Catahoula would certainly give me several seconds to save them from her if I could pull it off. Tuned 1911 for me, seven shots is plenty.
I am carrying from the moment I put cloths on in the morning and I have a rifle next to my bed even as I sleep.
Can I be ambushed at home? Yes, as all people can, but I may be high on the list of those it is dangerous to ambush. That's the goal anyway. Be hard to kill and very dangerous for any to try. The gun is not a weapon, it's a tool. YOU are the weapon (if you have the correct mindset.)
Annoying little yapper dogs would give me enough time to get to the LC9 on top of the reefer.
According to a serial burglar in Victoria those little yapping dogs were the domiciles he avoided, big nasty biting ones were easily baited but the yappers caused him no end of problems.
my xd40 is right here. the ar is near the back door. the model 66 is downstairs and the 642 is in the bedroom along with an 870 youth 20 gauge

Glock 45 in 9mm for me.
After watching some ASP videos, I'm re-evaluating complacency at home.
I have three big knives, two tomahawks, a Springfield 1911A1 Loaded model in 45 ACP, a Ruger MkIII 22 RF, and a Taurus Judge in 45 Colt/410 all within reach. Oh, and a S&W M&P15 with two 30 rd. and one 40 rd. mags.
If I'm in bed, my S&W model 28 is loaded with 110 gr. Winchester JHP's and a speedloader of same on my nightstand. At the other house, there's a loaded S&W Governor with two moon clips as backup and a S&W M&P .40 with five fifteen rd. mags.
We have pre-booby trapped every room and have refinished every wall and surface in our happy home with Stachbotrys Chartarum (Black Mold). to discourage and repel any and all would be intruders and otherwise evil-doers - from our Happy Haven.
Until this Old World regains it's sanity and security - We abide peacefully and securely in our Back Yard Bomb Shelter.
It would be more than 2 seconds because the crooks would trip across the attack Labrador retriever sleeping at the door plus the ensuing goat rope after. The rest of the welcoming committee festivities are my secret. It would be epic.
Any time I am not in my house I have a 9mm in my pocket.
If I am in bed, I can access a Fusion 10mm 1911 in 1.5 seconds.
The only time I am "vulnerable" is when I am watching tv or surfing the web on the couch. At that point the pocket 9 is 3.5 seconds away. But, the unwelcome guest would have to deal with the Rottweiler that is trained to lay between my family and a door at all times....
