[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1962833, member: 229"] This is the correct answer. You're much more likely to find trouble if you go looking for it. I always ask people who do stuff like this if the gun changes your plan any (i.e. would you still go outside if you didn't have the gun?). If the answer is that the gun changes your actions (in this situation), then you need to re-examine your mindset. The gun is not an extension of your ego, but a tool to protect yourself (and your family) from life-threatening situations. It is also not a badge. Good to see that we've got enough new folks on the board for the caliber debate again - I swear that horse was twitching. Almost as cool as "Shotguns are the best home defense weapon" posted by folks who haven't ever patterned 00-buck at 10yards or less (as well as those who consider bird-shot good for home-defense).
