[QUOTE="Danny Tanner, post: 1964824, member: 10619"] I read your posts here so I know you're an intelligent guy and this is probably something you've realized since the day you moved in, but this is only a deterrent. While your risks are theoretically lower than many other homeowners, don't allow the gated entrance and a Ford Escape with a swirling orange light to let you become complacent. I only have neighbors on one side of my house (besides across the street) and I've thought of two things: 1. I'm safer because one side of my property is open to the greenbelt and is easily seen by several houses a couple of hundred yards away as well as any traffic passing by. 2. I'm less safe because one side of my property is more accessible than the other sides. I'm not sure which one is more applicable to my situation, perhaps a little bit of both? To answer your question from your list of options, I'd go with the 870. Personally, since I don't have an 870, I'd still go with a 12 ga, but probably my Saiga. No matter how quickly I can chamber the next round in my Mossberg while shooting water jugs, I would prefer a guaranteed quick follow-up shot of a semi-auto. [/QUOTE]
