[QUOTE="WAGS, post: 1931487, member: 24511"] Alot of typical, some contradicting, replies that always are said with this topic of conversation.. Like the 'racking of shotgun' will scare off a robber. Everytime I hear that phrase I think of 2 scenarios, either the gun wasn't condition 1 to begin with(which is pointless to me), or the gun was condition 1 and you just extracted a perfectly good round.. I hate the "what round will/wont penetrate" arguments... my theory is, spend more time at the range focusing on markmanship skills, more time at courses firing under stress etc, and that should deviate away from, or atleast lower the possibilities of you missing your target and that *insert'arguing'round'type* round blowing thru the wall killing your 6 year old.. Now to the topic at hand, I vote depends on situation.. there is a handgun(varrying calibers) stashed in every bedroom, kitchen, and livingroom.. 2 of those bedrooms also have a 12guage in them. So depending on what room i'm in, if the threat is immediate, i'm going to that gun in that room. Now on several occasions, we are upstairs sleeping at night, and I wake up thinking to myself "what the hell did I just hear?", the first thing I'm doing is sending the dog downstairs, she is no k9 trained shepard, but if there ever was somebody in the house, based off what room she is barking in downstairs at least gives me an idea of what my next action is..
