What's your "Go To" HD firearm?

Mossberg 500, loaded first with rock salt, 2nd with buckshot, and 3rd with a slug. It is easily accessible right by my bed stand, and blends with the wife's decor nicely lol.
 
Rock salt? The purpose of the shotgun is to stop the threat, not to apply the base for a dry rub.

Watching too much Kill Bill maybe?

I've got a Sig 1911 with laser sight near the bed, an M&P15 Sport loaded the the hilt in the closet and a riot 12 gauge with some 00 buck as a backup.
 
Mossberg 500 leaning against the wall next to the headboard, shell in the chamber. I figure even in the middle of deep sleep induced, bleery - eyed haze, I can do some damage to a BG without worrying about a stray round going down the street to visit my neighbors.

686+P Three inch with 158 gr LHP. Plus a 12 gauge pump and side by side coach gun.
Bird shot then buck.

Then there is what ever may be closer to my hand or on my belt.

My current nightstand gun is a Glock 23 with TFO sights and an extra mag. I have had it since 2004 and it has been 100% reliable during that time frame. My home alarm is "Chopper", he is my five pound, long hair Chihuahua. Has ears like a deer and a bark like a chainsaw.

Since I had an attempted home invasion about a year or so ago, I also have a HK USP .45, a Glock 19 and a GP100 in different locations around the house. I will not get caught unprepared again.

There was a home invasion about a half mile from my house about a month ago. Long story short, the homeowner unloaded a Glock 17 on them. One was mortally injured but made it back to their getaway car. His fellow perpetrator dumped his lifeless body at a animal hospital about a mile away. The good guys won that time.
 
Winchester 1300 defender at bed post, Glock 19 with 2 extra mags on night stand and Sigma underneath bed with an extra mag. I sleep really well ;)
 
I don't remember the exact quotation, but when Randy Johnson was asked what he did for home defense, he said a kept a bucket of baseballs near his bed. He said he wasn't sure if he could hit somebody by firing a gun but he had proven time and time again that he could do it with a baseball!
 
Smith & Wesson 3953 with Winchester 147 gr T Series or 686 with .357 158 gr Gold Dots.
 
My Mossberg 590 holds 8 but I keep 6 in the tube...2 #4 Buck followed by four 00 Buck...slugs in side saddle...i don't load it all the way in case I need a slug to begin with...:)

BTW, I just took off my 2+2 speed feed stock 3 days ago and put on a Hogue 12" LOP...much handier and quicker to shoulder....and a side saddle works much better for me than that speed feed stock....:)

Not my pic but you get the idea...

Handgun de jour on the bedside table, a SIG 226 or the Model 19 usually but sometimes the HK P7. The Mossberg loaded with 000 buckshot is in the entryway closet.
 
Mossberg 500 on my side and M&PC .357sig on the wife's side. BG in the safe on the floor next to me.
