Home protection / security poll

12 ga riot pump

shotgun not there to vote for?

^This. Shotgun.

[Czsp-01-9mm]

I just sit around naked. If someone wants to break into my place with those sorts of conditions in place then they need my stuff more than I do...

might loss more than just your property, they might like the way you butt looks on a hot summers night.

Hmm. .40 pistol for me. Wondering why it's not even an option in there. Hello?

I mean, I understand why 10mm isn't in there, even though I have one sitting on the nightstand right now. But no .40, really?

This poll's options are either far too complicated, or not exhaustive enough.

I'll wait for the police to come find my broken and mangled body after the gentleman's left my home with all of my valuables. That's what a decent person would do.

Think of this Smith & Wesson #1 22 short made for self protection for women.

Too many weird specific options to select and none of the common options that most people actually do use.

92fs is currently serving as the communal hd firearm. a good portion of the time i'm still carrying one my permitted pistols. unfortunately, i experienced my first burglary a couple of weeks ago and have subsequently had to augment hd with a wireless adt system...

I chose sword/knife since I do keep a wakizashi at hand, but my go-to is a Glock 22. Should an escalation of force be necessary, said Glock will get me to the Mossberg 500. Should further escalation be needed, I'll probably jump out the window. I really don't want to go against something/someone that won't go down with 00Buck.

I think a more realistic/useful poll would be something along the following lines:
1) No security
2) Locked doors and telephone
3) Locked doors and electronic security system
4) 2+less lethal weapon (i.e., taser, chemical spray)
5) 2+martial arts weapon (bat, sword, knife)
6) 2+handgun
7) 2+long arm
8) 5+big dog
9) 6+big dog
10) 7+big dog
11) 8+9
12) 8+9+10

er, your poll reads like D & D:

+2 handgun and + 5 hell hound...

[Kukuforguns]

Hmm, I see your point.

[mossy]

you should have replaced "air gun" with shotgun. almost nobody uses a air gun for HD. all the shotgun votes in the rifle category will distort the results. also you should be able to pick more than one option. as i keep a shotgun and a 9mm for HD.

1) KY jelly
2) Locked doors and telephone
3) Locked doors and electronic security system

5) Locked doors & martial arts weapon (bat, sword, knife)
6) Locked doors & handgun
7) Locked doors & long arm
8) Locked doors, martial arts weapon & big dog
9) Locked doors, handgun & big dog
10) Locked doors, long arm & big dog

A short definition of big dog: A dog that causes other people to cross the road or otherwise display an abundance of caution when meeting the dog. A very big dog induces hysteria when seen without a leash.

Try this drity water in phone box, one rock & window they are in and now big steak dog. Now if you use a shot gun think of the repairs to all your walls.
