      Best Caliber for Home Defense with a Family

      Hey Guys, I have always depended on my Mossberg 500 loaded with 12ga slugs for home defense. The reason I chose 12ga slugs was because of their lethal wall/door penetrating power. Basically, as long as my wife was behind me, the whole house was within range. :D (Plus you can mix loads... slug...

      Little Old Lady Revolver Suggestions

      My 70 year old mother has finally decided she needs a firearm for home defense. She recently shot a 9mm Semi-auto and said it has too much kick. She wants a revolver for ease of use (and I agree). I want it to have some stopping power. We both want it to hold at least 5 rounds. Please include...

      Your house. Lights on or off?

      When you're not at home or when you go to bed, do you leave a light on inside your house? I can think of some pros and cons. Pros would be BGs will think you're at home or still awake. Cons would be they can see inside your home easier. If the lights were off, you'd have the advantage since...

      +1 to IMPD, +100 to Grandpa

      Early this morning, 0300, my grandfather was woken up by his dog barking. Without thinking about it, he got out of bed and grabbed his Sig C3 1911 and went through the house looking out the windows for whatever woke the dog up. When looking out his back windo at the garage he noticed a woman...

      Illegal Restraint by Handcuffs

      Yet another incident of people who had their home invaded by criminals impersonating police officers; this time they were restrained with handcuffs. Granted, it didn't happen in Indiana (Baltimore, actually) but the way things have been going in South Bend I wouldn't be surprised if a story...

      Update on Castle Doctrine in Indiana?

      In discussions with a friend, I was told that the Ft.Wayne paper had an article about a new law in Indiana that makes the Castle Doctrine illegal. I was in shock, but he was not sure if it was passed or its a new law in the works. My present understanding is that it is legal in Indiana...

      Electronic earmuffs for home defense

      Does anyone use electronic earmuffs for your home defense? I got a pair for Christmas today. And while playing around with them, I was surprised on how much I could hear. And it got me thinking. If I ever had to fire my firearm in my house, that sound would echo, and leave my ears ringing. If...

      Wait - the guy at the gunshop told me birdshot was all I needed for home defense

      So, just as Awerbuck has tried to tell everyone, birdshot works just like a slug for the first three meters, and is then pretty much useless after 9-meters. Three people shot in the next room, no one dead. ...and yes, it has to be birdshot. 1-he was out hunting. 2- unless the three people...
