[QUOTE="Quick_Draw_McGraw, post: 967811, member: 3286"] A good home defense plan is more then just the right ammo, it's also having a good game plan for how you would engage an intruder in your home. Some things to factor in... a. Figure out where your points of entry are in the home, and which ones you think are the most likely forced entry points from a bad guy. b. Now that you know where they might be coming from, think about likely places that you would meet a bad guy. The hallway outside your bedroom door, the staircase downstairs, etc. c. Figure out if you have any no fire zones. Knowing that any lethal round can clear at the very least two interior wall, are there any places where you wouldn't shoot. Draw a map of your house if you have to, and draw some lines to see where your shots would go if you miss. I live alone, so for me, my plan is simple. I lock my bedroom door at night, and I know any shot from my room towards the door and depending on the angle has at least 4 - 6 interior walls to go through before getting to the other side of the house. I plan on just calling 911, and protecting myself from anyone entering my room. I've got insurance to cover anything in the house, so I'd rather pay my a deductible payment then risk my life. But I know staying put is a luxury because I don't have kids to look out for. [/QUOTE]
