If you woke in the night to find a stranger in your house....?

would you use the shotgun to prevent the possibility of a bullet going through the person and hurting someone else or the revolver to minimize the mess you had to clean up?

Learn martial arts and kick their behind ,call 911, so they can be transported to the station after going to the hospital. Trespassing. vandalism harassment is a crime. |

I'm not a sissy to have to resort to gutless gunfire.. I'd grab them with my bare hands and choke the life out of them. And you'd be surprised that you could do that too, when you feel threatened and the adrenalin kicks in. |

I can detain anyone. I don't need a gun. I would pick up the closest weapon and take out the ability for them to move.
Then I would ask them what the heck they are doing and if they need some help.

Firstly, u should have seen to it u have secured besides ur doors the entire house well & done a check bfore u retire or go out anytime day or night.
If an intruder gets in & confronts u, u have to THINK & LOOK AROUND UR PLACE IF U CAN FIND AN OBJECT U COULD DEFEND URSELF WITH ,,,,NO GUNS AT ALL SHOULD BE USED UNLESS U KNOW KNOW HOW TO USE IT WITH GREAT CARE,,,,,,or U try to run & get locked into a room which u have a telephone in the room to dial for help.
If the intruder is coming on to u, u get hold of any glass objects & U fling it onto a window to CREAT ATTENTION that the neighbours can hear & anything that U can create noise to attract any attention bfore the "VILLIAN" ATTACKS U. Opent eh window to shout as loud as u can is another thing. Get into a hysterical mood ,,,,,,perhaps that intruder will run off if he/she thinks U have attracted enough attention.
Find any sharp object & PROD INTO THIS VILLIAN IF u R ATTACKED. SCRATCH AL OVER HIS FACE & ANYWHERE U CAN TO GET HIS BLOOD ,,,,,FOR DNA TEST IN CASE U R DEAD. |

I would have neither present because if I did, chances are my
spouse would have killed me by now.
You're talking about killing a person - sure, maybe they are
a thief - but this is a death.
Grow up. |

Either, way kill them don't wound them, they will sue you if you let them live! Oh and yeah, after wards either bludgeon them with the butt of the shotgun or pistolwhip them a couple of times, signs of a struggle or insanity plea... GOOD DEAL! |

.. hows the saying go?.." if you are found here in the night time , you'll be found here in the daytime"... nice saying but the truth is NO one ever realy knows how they will act when "push comes to shove"... but it's nice to have a plan ahead of time just in case you dont wet your pants from the get-go.... |

Shotgun with buckshot may still travel through walls and strike an innocent. A good site to see how rounds react to drywall is www.theboxotruth.com.
A shotgun must be operated with two hands, that makes it harder to use a flashlight, move your kids, or dial the police if their is an intruder in the house. Expecially with the added panic. It will also make it take longer to aquire your target if you have the gun dropped with one hand while opening a window or a door to let your kids out, dial a telephone, or move a baricade. It is long and not very manuverable through a house at full leingth, especially in the dark, and may be noisy. And it is also easier for you to be disarmed of a shutgun at a corner. It will take you FOREVER to swing a shotgun from aiming at one intruder on one side of the hallway, if you find out there is another one at the other side of the hallway, or even a narrow doorway! Reloading (if you had to) is way too slow, and could get someone killed. Retrieving a loaded shotgun kept under the bed is a slow and noisy process, and may cost you the initiative, and maybe your life. You can not run as fast with a shotgun, to head off an intruder from entering your childrens room for a hostage for example.
Tactically there are many disadvantages to using a shotgun for home defense, think of some on your own. The only advantage
is the brute force it provides, that may in itself be a disadvantage.
And the brute force only applies if you get past the other disadvantages with enough ease to take a shot, first.
Try a .40 or .45 with magazines handy. Make a safe room, have a plan for the kids. Make sure your wife can shoot, and have a gun for her, too.
PS: for all those people who say "kick him in the nuts" "gouge his eyes" "call the police" "hit him with a bat" - what if he has a bat? a knife? a friend? a gun? |
