IMO I believe three guns will give you excellent home defense. Keep a good shotgun ready, loaded with 00 Buck. A good pocket pistol you can just drop in a pocket to have with you. And also a good revolver or pistol a little larger. If you live in an area with bears, cougars, wolves, etc. the shotgun can come in real handy. Myself I simply use my Bersa Thunder .32 acp and my Kel Tec P-32 for home and carry. But if I lived in a wilderness area would also own a shotgun.
Three guns will protect your home very well. :victory:
Exactly.No discussion of exterior or interior lights? Landscaping? Fences? Gate and door locks? Dogs? Alarms? Practice? Night shooting? Gun lights and/or gun lasers? There's so many things that make up home defense and these are just on the top of my head as a novice.

I like that idea.shotties are probably the best bet for home defense, consider bird shot instead of 00

Sounds like you spend your whole life in your bedroom. What happens to your carfully laid out plan when burglers come while your making dinner, taking a shower or watching TV in the livingroom?Apologize if repeating. Did not look at all replies but wanted to add my 2 cents. Besides the firearms, be them pistols, revolvers and or shotguns, I do the following.
1. I lock and secure with stopper my bedroom door and will not leave same. Anything in any other room is insured and replaceable--I am insured and not replaceable. Just not worth it to me. No one in my house but my wife and I so clearing rest of house is moot.
2. Have cellphone at the ready to call 911
3. Have remote garage door opener at the ready
4. Have remote car alarms at the ready
5. Have a preferred setup location in bedroom with view of bedroom door
You defeat my bedroom door my only concern after that is replacing the door and the carpet. Whoever defeated my bedroom door is not my concern and it probably does not matter anymore. I am not a sheep. Someone will go to hell before I go to heaven.
The very first thing to look at regarding a setup is lighting. It's amazing how simple a thing deterrs so much crime. Walkway lights, a soft padio light and a few motion detector controled lights go a long way. Add a couple indoor lights onto the circuit controled by a motion detector. Have a light on your gun.IMO I believe three guns will give you excellent home defense. Keep a good shotgun ready, loaded with 00 Buck.

I have cameras too. Signs around the ground for ADT Security and video. They won't stop someone intent on killing you but they are a deterrent for the average little punk burglar. The kid that breaks-in while everyone is at work has to know he's on video. Hopefully he picks another house. A good dog is a better option. I have a GSD who doesn't like too many people. He's trained to defend the family as well. He won't stop someone bent on harming you as they'll shoot him, but once again he's a good deterrent for the average unarmed burglar. Despite all these things a person bent on murder won't be deterred. And anyone who penetrates all that low-level security isn't there to use your phone. In those cases the last resort has been reached. Use any and all defenses available.why?
