    Use what you are most comfortable with, not what someone says you should use. If you have more experience with a handgun, then that is your goto.

    Stress does funny things to people, they forget stuff, they don't think, they react off of instinct. If 90% of your shooting experience is with a pump shotgun, then you'd be a fool to use another weapon in a defensive situation, stick to what you know and your muscles know so you can use it without having to think about how it works.

    For me, I have easily 20x the ammount of rounds downrange with a pistol than I do a rifle, so that's what sits ready. 22 round mag in the pistol, with an extra 22 round mag standing by. Figure that's enough 9mm to take care of just about any problem that may arise, or at least get them to keep thier heads down so I can go for a long gun.

    So, if someone grew up shooting shotguns and has 20+ years of experience with them, they should set them aside for an AR that they have owned for a month or they are ****ing retarded?


    There are no absolutes, there are not one size fits all answers, it is not a black and white world. Pull your head out and think before posting crap.

    Bird gun is an absolute. 20 years of stupidity doesn't make a CQB winner. As Grant posted. You don't see any Tac team in the modern world deploying with a ****ing bird gun. Go back to ARF with that stupid shit.

    One of the biggest mistakes I see gun owners make is emulating LEOs or Military without knowing why they use what they use. 99% of the time what an LEO uses is because of financial constraints, not because it is the best tool to be used.

    If you look at HD shootings across the US over the past few decades, you will see just about anything works, provided you can put it on target. It tends to get back to the basics - have a gun, only hits count, make hits early, etc.
    Absolutely. Offensive mode and as an interdependent and mutually supportive team, with equipment that most homeowners aren't going to take the time to put on.

    Obviously any gun you own can be a home defense gun. But I like and use an AR for HD along with a Glock.

    But if you want a good HD AR, I would go with a SBR with iron sights, a light, and a suppressor.

    I'm sure markm was assuming all variables equal. The tool is better for the job at hand than the other one mentioned.

    markm knows what he's talking about.

    I'm willing to bet that not many here are part of any "tac team", so that arguement is moot. People have successfully defended themselves and their homes with .22's, it's been doccumented. Use what you are comfortable with and have the most experience with, even if it's a friggin spear and a shield. Something is better than nothing, and if you know how to use it then it's a lot better than a weapon you are unfamilliar with and unsure about using. Practice, practice, practice, and if your choice calms down the cool guys, then more power to ya.

    I have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a fireman. The position may, in the eyes of some, appear to be a lowly one; but we who know the work which the fireman has to do believe that his is a noble calling. Our proudest moment is to save lives. ~Edward F. Croker
