Thread: Home Defense...revolver or semi-auto?

nothing beats a shotgun loaded with #6's for in-the-house defense

Just for a point of information about home defense (regardless of the weapon of choice); the local County Sheriff's Office where we live offers a home defense class that I took my not-so-experienced wife to that was really helpful.

First evening was discussion of laws regarding when you can or can't shoot (irrelevant if the bad guy is in your home), but there were some little things regarding property or outdoors. The next Saturday morning was a "bring your gun to the range day" with experienced instructors and trainers who inspected the weapons for operability and then to the range. As much supervised live fire as you want, but it was mostly handguns.

A good introduction for home defense, IMHO.

Check in your area for something similar.

Our shooting instructor said either one........ but his pistol is just to get him to his 12 ga.

duh huh? when a 20 ga can sever a Christmas tree completely with 2 #6 loads ,,I think any person would definitely be in final jeapordy round,,got bigger got handguns,,heck hoping no methheads get brave enuff,,,,,oh well
