[QUOTE="ripnbst, post: 1964173, member: 16136"] If I was going outside I would have grabbed the same thing you did and here's my logic. I am outside so sound isnt as much of a concern. 12 GA buckshot, esp out of a barrel that short is going to spread really and be pretty devastating while losing energy quickly to prevent harm to neighbors. Also, by being conscious of how you hold the gun anyone who looked outside might not make the "guy outside in my neighborhood with a gun and in his underwear at 3 am" phone call. You could conceal it alongside your body. Another positive of the shotgun is that if you did indeed have to shoot. I would WANT neighbors to hear it and be calling the fuzz too, I want all the help I can get. If I was inside the house I'd grab the 9mm. I'd want a light on any gun I planned to grab at 3AM. Having the ability to operate the gun one handed easily with the 9mm gives it the edge over the AR for me. I might put a TLR on the AR w/ pressure switch too. [/QUOTE]
