Ok, moving on to Home Defense gun…

My main home defense weapon is a Mossberg 590A1 Tactical. Love this shotgun. Holds 8+1 and another 4 in the stock—13 rds. ready to rock from get-go, with no additional bandolier or case. And I love the Ghost Ring sights. Keep it behind my bedroom door.

And in my nightstand drawer it’s forever been my Glock 22 (.40 cal), in a holster with a 2nd magazine. (When I got this Gen 2 gun, back in 1990, it was the fricking bee’s knees—just about every law enforcement agency was moving to it. Now it’s as passé as a drive-in theater. But I still love it, have put thousands of rds. through it, and it’s never failed or jammed once in all those years).

And we have a few guns in hidden but accessible places here and there.

But the main go-to is the shotgun. And for the most part, I like #4 Buck for home def.

Gary

By my front door is a Ruger Mini 14 and a Remington 1100 Tactical depending on the situation.

The 1100 has a VERY bright tactical flashlight attached and the buckshot pattern follows the light beam very closely. (6ft diameter at 50 yds.)

By my bed is a Ruger Security Six in .357 Magnum.

I hope that I never ever have to use any of them.

Understand, but better to be over the top than have your top cleaned by some puke.

You are ready to throw down some lead at the front door there, Coach. Nice.

I love the Mini 14, always have. I can't come up with a good reason for never having finally purchased one.

I've got the M1A and my M1 Garand and a couple of its little brothers, 10/22s, and I love the looks of the Mini 14, esp. with the wood furniture. But each time I came close, I ended up going with another AR.

Maybe soon.

You are right!!!

I just worry that some kid at school might get “ignorant” one night and do something really stupid. I hope to goodness that those two Hound Dogs on the porch will discourage that from happening.

I figure though, if those two don’t discourage, I do need to take action.
