REMINGTON 870!!!!! DONT GET ANYTHING ELSE!!! Load the first round with bird shot, the rest with buck. If someone is in you house and doesnt respond to 1. the sound of the shotgun cocking or the first round you shoot at them, the deserve the buckshot. At that point, you wont be firing wildly into the night, which MIGHT happen if you fire the first round.

The other option you have is the Taurus Judge. It fires 410 shotgun rounds. Seems badass, but a 410 wont really hurt anyone at anything but close up, but in a dark bedroom, squeeze of one round or two with bird shot, it wont matter if you shoot them or not, it will get their attention. Also fires .45 slugs

 

I keep a Browning Auto 5 and a 9mm within reach when I sleep, I can tell you this he will not be around to sue me because I have altered his way of life!

 

Use a salt rock load instead of buckshot, .

 

I'm really thankfull of all these post,
The rock salt seems Like a great idea, I REALLY like the idea of a non lethal option, Hopefully i would have control of the situation before I had to use it but isnt it in NC that if their not armed you cant shoot to kill? Even if their in your house?

BUT I also really like the Idea of the Judge.....Thats so awesome.

 

If your looking for a good cheap home defence gun its hard to beat a Mossberg 500 with pistol grips.

 

38 Special works nice for home defence.

 

I was just trying to keep you and bobby out of my house.....



The more I look at the judge the more i like it

 

I also like my Ruger Colt 45 but thats a bit much for Home Defence.

 

The BW AA-12 seem's more my thing...

 

that should work for them
