[QUOTE="OKCShooter, post: 1962489, member: 9994"] Something interesting happened last night...I heard some strange noise around my house around 3am (I was up to grab a drink) and usually it is DEAD QUIET around my house. I looked out my back window and the back security light was lit up (Not uncommon as trees are all around and it sometimes picks them up)...I live on a Golf course, so my house is open in the back to a Fairway which makes the back of my house open. There is a false sense of Security sometimes because the house is open on all 4 sides that it seems unlikely that it would be a target (easy to see by neighbors) and my neighborhood is gated with Manned Security 24/7 and only one gate in (Non-residents are admitted 1 by 1 and their information is written down), so I have never had this concern before of the "late night" intrusion. Sound was really weird, almost distant, but I knew it was on my property. It wasn't constant and after it got my attention it went away but I couldn't ignore it. Here is where I ask my question (I answered it immediately at 3am): When you know that you are walking outside (with a Family inside) and you don't know what's going on - [I][B]but you actually have the fear that you could be stepping into danger[/B][/I] what would you grab? This is what I have sitting at the ready (Loaded and secured in my house in different rooms) I had the ability to make a split second decision and grab whichever I wanted before going outside at 3am alone and the hair was standing up on the back of my neck: Suppressed AR15 with 30 Rounds of TAP. Has Surefire and ACOG: [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i29.photobucket.com_albums_c253_jasondcunningham_Noveske.jpg[/IMG] Suppressed UZI with 32 rounds of 147+P HST: [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i29.photobucket.com_albums_c253_jasondcunningham_uzi2.jpg[/IMG] Remington 870MCS with Surefire attached and 2 3/4 Military Buckshot: [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i29.photobucket.com_albums_c253_jasondcunningham_870_1.jpg[/IMG] Suppressed Beretta 92A1 with TLR-1s and CTC carrying 22 rounds of 125 HST: [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i29.photobucket.com_albums_c253_jasondcunningham_92a2.jpg[/IMG] My answer surprised me. I always thought I would grab a suppressed gun (Saves hearing and no flash - both of which I thought would be to my benefit if I ever had to protect my home against BG) - but the [B]FIRST[/B] thing I went to grab was the 870MCS and I did so without ANY hesitation. If I would have answered this question on this forum I would have said the AR, but when I was amped up and knew that I was going outside ALONE and possibly confront someone it was a completely different answer. I guess, in retrospect, that I felt most secure with BUCKSHOT and a FLASHLIGHT. I had my cell in my hand with 911 dialed in and ready to hit "Send". I can only imagine what I looked like in Boxers and tennis shoes (I was smart enough to put them on) with that Shotty. Long story short, I have a Koi Pond and the pump had evidently lost prime for a minute and the sound I heard was water and air getting pumped trying to regain prime (which, by the way is a very weird sound at 3am coming from behind your house in the dark with a security light tripped near it) What would you grab, and why?
