16 Reasons Shotguns Are The Most Dominant Home Defense Weapon (Page 3): I have an AR-15 setup as a .410 shotgun, for this reason. You seem to just post hate, and know nothing of ARs...

Why would anyone want a rifle? More friends and relatives are killed all the time than home invaders.

What is your personal experience with firearms? Do you have any skills with any weapon?

You presume only conservatives only own or use an AR-15 for home defense or anything else. Go to a gun range and ask everyone holding an AR-15 what their political party is. I would wager it is an even distribution.

Auntie, I seriously doubt most liberals would own a gun let alone identify themselves a liberal at a gun range and further would they have the capability of handing that infamous AR-15 or a shotgun ( I have a great story of a liberal lady of color who would not remove the trigger locks from her hand gun even at work as an armed security guard) 🤠

I will take that bet.

I am confused as why we would select a long gun for home defense. Close quarters a 357, 44 or 45 should do the job.

Springfield 1911 in .45, Is my choice for 35+years

If you can carry a loaded pistol in a holster on your hip, what's the problem with it under your pillow?
It isn't gonna jump out and start shooting all by its lonesome.

PeterS,

Ah but don’t guns have a mind of their own, and want to kill innocent people? Don’t guns just go off for NO reason and completely on their own?
( I’m being facetious, I hope you know).

Because you’re asleep.. people walk in there sleep people toss and turn in bed while asleep. Between the mattress would be much safer and just as fast to get to… but all you Macho men need to sleep with it. I have and use many guns but don’t need to sleep with them.

The bigger their fears , the bigger their guns !
There’s protection , and then there’s the overkill on the right !!!
It’s fear based above all .
Fears , that they create themselves to justify
Their fear motivated fortresses .
And of course all of the boogiemen stories .
Or the one about grandma holding down an intruder telling the police
“Better get here soon , I don’t know how long I can keep him alive !”
None of fears have come to fruition for at least 99% .

Make sure they are all the way in and will not fall outside the door.

If you have to reach farther than where your head is, you loose

Understand what you’re saying. You are figuring the intruder will wake you up while they are standing over you. I think that is a very remote happening

Do you know that firearms are the leading cause of death to children?

No, they are not. Drowning is the leading cause.
