I must join the Sam and NPR chorus and say "Yes."

Now - is that because I sleep in the arsenal, or because I don't like answering questions like this on the 'net?

Given that I lost all my guns in that horrible boating accident, it can't really be the former... ;)

I keep a few handguns in various hidey holes around the house. My bedside gun is a G21. My plan would be to use it to get to the closet where the 870 resides with 7 shots of 00Buck goodness.

And really, that's all anyone needs for home defense.

Zombies? Gangsta bears? Sudden jihad syndrome? Just get HTRN in a hockey mask while wielding a machete and your home is safe!

I will admit, the hockey mask and machete is a bit offputting when not dealing with intruders - oh the looks I get when going out to dinner. :mrgreen:

And I can't let the opportunity to go by with mentioning Butch R. Mann :lol:

Good thing I'm at work, otherwise I might have clicked on that link.

As long as we're not dealing with Butch N. Manly, I'm sure it's juuuuust fine.

Poor butch is just misunderstood.

Oh, the original topic. For me, the answer is "it depends on the situation". And I never served Uncle Sam either. Pistol and/or shotgun is close by, AR when that extra special touch is needed.
Buy ammunition and magazines.

You'll shoot your eye out!

Another blog.

Pistol - 45 upstares and 9 downstares both ready to go. I can't really imagine a scenario in the suburban settting I live in where I would want to switch to a long gun. I have SG/rifles available, but I don't keep them ready to go.
