[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3182667, member: 5412"] I have a theory backed up by watching some training videos about using long guns clearing a house. I've said before that I'd never use a long gun to clear a house. It's too easy for someone to grab the barrel as you round a corner and take control of the situation. In fact I don't intend to clear my house. Wife and I are in the same bed with no others living here. If I hear a bump in the night, the pistol on the nightstand is the first reach. Then I'll make it to the long gun and take up a defensive position, calling those that clear houses for a living to give us a visit. We live in the sticks and any response would take a pretty good time to get there, so if the situation escalates, that is when plan B commences and I have to take over. It will be with a pistol. No desire to be a Rambo and charge into a room full of bad guys where the outcome could not turn out well for us. [/QUOTE]
