  1. I'm Canadian, so I guess that doesn't apply to me. :D

    The best weapon for home defense is pump shotgun.

  4. This seems to be the conventional wisdom. I think it kind of depends on the situation though. The best weapon is the one you can actually deploy effectively in an emergency. A pistol in my shoe by the bed versus a shotgun in the closet.

  5. Just be sure it's not one of those multi-purpose shoes:

    Unintended consequences and all that.

    If you ever find yourself in a "shoot out", and are not a policeman, you need to be using your ammo in order to manufacture an escape - period.

    I just ran through a scenario in my home using an air pistol modeled after a Colt. It was not loaded.

    1. I have to stay low and in cover as much as possible. There are multiple levels.

    2. I have to learn to shoot from cover with my left handed as well

    3. I am sure I would be spending very little time in a range stance.

    4. There would spots in my house I just could not risk shooting.

    I live in a very good neighborhood. What has that got to do with anything?

    You think robbers and burglars target houses only in the hood?
