Also, along with the guns if you want to buy more time possibly get a guard dog or two. I have 2 cane corsos. They are amazing.

A 22? Really, guy walks in 🔫*bang* what the... ouch just got bit by a mosquito. 😜I say a 22 pistol or a 45. They have good stopping power and are easier to maintain. Brands I reccomend: smith& wessen or beretta

A .22 is deadly, but it doesn't really have much "stopping power". I've transported 🚑 guys that were killed by .22's & I've also transported one that was shot in the forehead with a .45 @ point blank range and was talking to me. The bullet tracked around his skull & exited behind his ear, but never penetrated his skull. I would reccomend the largest caliber you have trained on & feel comfortable with. It doesn't get much bigger than a 12 gauge, but if a .22 is what you have that you feel comfortable with then it is better than just begging for your life.

A 40cal or 45 acp with frangible ammo. The decision to use a weapon is serious so be serious about the weapon and training with it. Training is ESsential.
Frangible ammo breaks apart inside your target causing terminal trauma. But is does not penetrate through dry wall. There are some penetration issues with heavy clothing though. -
Shotgun and fill the shells with rock salt, will dig into the skin but won't cause serious harm.
Or but rubber bullets or beam bags for shotguns.

I have a machete beside my bed, and a guard cat sleeping on the front deck. Anyone who can get past them can have the $20 I have in my wallet 😊The Far Side has a point. Most of us aren't trained to use a fireweapon in an unclear, potentially threatening situation.
Myself, I have a bo-ken (kind of sword) and a quarterstaff in my bedroom. I'm trained to use them, will too to defend my children. As for posessions: replacable. Let the cops deal with that, I'm not going to risk my families life over a television. -

I appreciate all the info you guys have posted here and the pm's I've received. You all have been very helpful. Thank you.
Btw, We found out two days ago that our 6 yr old and week old newborn may be allergic to dogs. There goes that idea... -
Pitbull is short haired and a lot less likely to have allergic issues with people.

And how could u possibly know a newborn is alergic to dogs without an extensive blood test?
-
Probably a handgun would be your best bet. A six or five shooter is what I would recommend.

Have you seen the silly putty 12 ga on YouTube? I've been wanting to try it in some of my reloads. Looks like it would do damage, but may not over penetrate. I'm really curious to try it.ADD: 0901 wrote:

I never said she was allergic, I said she may be allergic. You are correct, we won't know for sure until we do more blood tests. We will be testing our 6 yr old soon and after that we will end up testing our newborn. Our pediatrician asked questions, we answered them and he gave us a few suggestions as to what may cause the rashes and labored breathing associated with our kids when around the neighbors dog.And how could u possibly know a newborn is alergic to dogs without an extensive blood test?

Some great suggestions here. But here is the MOST IMPORTANT THING:
Whatever the weapon is... The other adult (wife-husband-spouse- whoever) has to be just as fluent and knowledgeable with said weapon as yourself! In a bind they need to know how to effectively use the weapon. 👍

Boooooommmmmmm! End game!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any other questions from aside post hound???? -
Training x infinity. Don't pull a Pistorious.
A with a shotgun inside the house it doesn't matter what the shot size is for stopping power. The column doesn't have enough distance to get much spread. I'd go with either #8 or #9. I want my shots to drastically reduce in energy when they go through drywall. You still need to know what's behind your target, but reducing your chances of throwing extra lead at the neighbors is a plus in my book. -

I don't understand your reference to Oscar Pistorious here. Every story I have read, indicates he was more than familiar with handguns. In fact, he frequently spent time on firing ranges.Training x infinity. Don't pull a Pistorious.

I want my shots to drastically reduce in energy when they go through drywall. ✂As far as #8 or #9 shot in a shotgun, those are light bird loads typically used on quail or doves. Buckshot, at least in my opinion, would be more effective on a mammal the size of a human. Additionally, there would be potentially hundreds of pellets in #8 and #9 shot and only about ten to fifteen larger pellets in buckshot.

At the ranges you would find in your house, birdshot still carries plenty of energy to kill. The advantage is the lack of penetrating power at slightly longer ranges, reducing over penetration. I've treated both buck shot victims & birdshot victims. 🚑 They are both deadly @ close range but buckshot extends that range significantly. Not necessarily what you want in a neighborhood.Donkfish wrote:

Well for home defense I use a hawk 12 guage shotgun. The first shot is birdshot to give them time to get away, the second shot is 00 buck so they can crawl away and the third is a slug so the ambulance can carry them away.
