What Would You Want ?

[codenamedave]

What would I want?

A high-cap, suppressed, light & lasered .45, if not 1911 based then certainly one with a comparable trigger.

What I have is a 73 year old .38 revolver.

My Glock 27 and a Mag light!
The wife will be on the cell phone.....in the closet!

I would want whoever came in to give the place a good cleaning and then leave as quieting as they came.

Who would want a maid that stops by at 3AM. A better question is, why would you want a maid who stops by at 3AM...Hmmmm..

awaken your spouse and send her to investigate the noise, while you dial 911 and hide in the closet. (after she leaves the bedroom, lock the door behind her.)

We have a winner!

Like my father told me NUMEROUS TIMES, "What you WANT and what you get is likely two different things."

Coming in at any other time they would be in the way.

Sig 226 with a very bright weapons LIGHT to be sure I know what I'm shooting at. Fortunately, with two dogs in the house, we're unlikely to be surprised...or invaded.

 

[DeathGrip]

No one is getting in without making a lot of noise so cell phone and any of my guns that are close.

I have to agree.

At my place you'd have to make enough noise to wake the dead (that's me) to get in and my sheepdog "the one who hears the grass grow" would be raising hell thus waking my Cattle dog. He's a little monster.

I'm cranky when my sleep is interrupted.

I have options to put holes through one or many.

In the open nightstand drawer are closest and first "go to" a Colt Agent and next to it a Glock 17 w/2 mags. I have toyed the idea with swapping out the Colt for my 686 4" but it seems big, heavy, and maybe awkward to handle in a stressful situation.

I have a 45 in the bed stand. Of course the wife has to hear it and wake me up because I'm deaf. Then I hope it takes awhile before he finds the bedroom because my hands are numb from nerve impingement. Then it's awhile before I can actually open the drawer, find the pistol, and pick it up.

BUT I'M READY

 

[OMCHamlin]

Rusty. Why can't you say the word, GLOCK?

Ha! Mine's a Glock 41, full of Remington Golden Sabres, with a Streamlight light/laser on the rail. There IS a Mossberg 590A1 close by, full of Aquila mini-shells, the #1 & #4 Buck variant.

 

[susieqz]

i can point shoot my 15-4 just fine, but the pair of pit bulls is the better idea.

Under the pillow

Ruger LC9s with 8 Hornady Critical Defense

I keep my Winchester 94 rifle loaded in my bedroom closet, along with my much beloved S&W 696, also loaded. I am more concerned about that darn mountain lion bothering my horse. In an emergency, I will grab the rifle, and I'm not going to bother putting on my pants. My place is about halfway between the little town of Minden, Nevada and Carson City. So if you ever see a man wearing only underwear, running around at night in the sage brush, and waving a rifle, that will be me.

When you think someone is trying to break in first step is call 911 and inform the dispatcher you’re armed. Then, if time allows, get everyone into a bedroom (or safe room) and lock the door. If the suspect(s) gain entry inform them you’re armed and police are on the way. Bottom line is confront only as a last resort.

..."Please exclude a 12 ga Pump"...

...a Claymore outside the front door?...

...did you know you can't eat a Claymore?...

It's buried under a big W

Let your wife pick what SHE likes to shoot, have it in HER nightstand, and have her let you sleep in. You obviously need your rest!
Women's Lib goes both ways, right?

 

[Whitwabit]

First line of defense would be a 70 pound unfriendly GSD (German Shepard Dog) .. If you get by her its all out war .. and am sure they would be looking to harm us !!

2nd line if they would get by Eko would be either 14 rounds of 9mm in my Beretta PX-4 Sub Compact or my Sig P229 Legion in 40 .. several others with in reach including an unloaded AR-15 with a 30 round mag laying beside it ..

Wife would be calling 911 huddled behind a brick chimney shielding her from gunfire ....
