I don't know your weapon background....this is how someone can take out their Clint Eastwood long gun to solve discussion.
You use what you feel most comfortable with. What you are most proficient with. If you are like me and you spend the majority of your time on the pistol range because its down the street, then you pick up the pistol when you hear strange noises coming from your front door at 2am.
Just out of curiosity, what do you mean by "detailed" weapon? I have not heard that term used before.
i don't know posts like this make it sound you don't know really, but somehow do know.
if you are hunting down a noise why just bring the pistols?
I never get this. Hunt it with a rifle/shotgun, then switch to a more 'detailed' weapon if needed.
Most do not follow comprehensive security though....they just pick out weapons instead of defense.

I'm not sure what you are saying but I will clarify my statement anyway. I know several people who choose to keep a sidearm for HD despite owning long guns. The reason is that they are proficient with their sidearms and while familiar with their long guns their muscle memory and training is with their sidearm.
You just responded to Alkemyst. You just got trolled.
nobody likes you
Did you listen in your CCW classes at all? One of the MOST important points they drive home is that CCW is NOT to be used to protect others. It is strictly ONLY for SELF defense.
Depends where you live. Some states it is perfectly legal to use deadly force in stopping a forcible felony.
Great insult. Couldnt be farther from the truth, but props for the effort.
S.C. has the "alter ego" law. If I'm in the quick shop and a robber points a gun at the cashier, I can "assume" her place and put one in the guy. Even in the back, no warning. I am not required to defend her though. Only my child, by law.
damn assistant manager now?
My instructor(a cop) said he would not give the guy a heads up. Not busting on OK because I don't believe I have ever been there but this is S.C. We have been accused of being less progressive/educated than the rest of the country. Suits me if the bad guy gets capped in the chest, back, head, groin....Hrmm, that's odd. In OK, you can only use your weapon if the threat is directed at you. In a situation like that you could say "hey asshole!" and plink him as he starts to train his gun on you
how so? Why not stop acting like a child?
His story makes no sense regardless. Knew it was nothing yet still was packing and having his wife watch his back.
He's either a coward or painting stories.
If I had both a rifle/shotgun and a pistol, I'd go out 'looking' for something with the former. If someone broke into my home or I was carrying for protection out and about the latter.
The best home defense money can buy

ok, let me make a comment....
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Wait, whew..........ok....HAHA...Almost done....
Ok
Maybe my wife was watching out the window because she...WANTED TO KNOW WHAT THE HELL WAS MAKING THE NOISE AS WELL?
Again, I'm not going to run upstairs and get a shotgun or AK just to go see what was making a noise in my backyard. I do however usually have a pistol on or near me so I took that with. (I come home, take my gun off and basically carry it room to room with me until I head upstairs where the safe is located). Had my pistol not be on the table next to me, i would of went to look unarmed (gasp!) I said I felt safer knowing I had my pistol, not that I felt in danger if I didn't have it.
Again, there is prepared and there is paranoid. Why stop with loading up my AK to check out a noise outside, maybe I should call my friends, they can come over, we can spec out in tactical gear with custom optics on our AR rifles and head down to the shed, then I could breach the door and throw in a flashbang, my friends would then enter in 2 by 2 securing the 8x10 shed in quick fashion.
Now that is safe!
On a related note, my wife just IMed me telling me there have been sightings of coyotes in the area. I guess better that then a skunk.

Yes because a gun can't go off unless someone makes it go off. A dog however can get spooked and kill your baby. Not to mention a lot of people "train" their gaurd dogs and keep them aggressive by limiting food. It's been proven (Mythbusters) that you can distract a well trained gaurd dog with food.

Oh, and what do you do when a guy is asaulting you or your wife and your dog jumps in and starts attacking you. Because that happens as well. When a dog gets riled up and is in super aggressive mode, it can attack anyone, including you. Dog = Animal = can make mistakes.
Gun = inanimate object that can't do anything with out an outside force acting on it. Or is their a model of gun I'm unaware of that has legs and walks around shooting the innocent children of the world?

.38 revolver if you don't have small children , If you do I would get the best alarm system monitored and any type of semi auto with the ammo within reach,but not in the gun. Same with a shotgun . Kids get into so much shit .
