HeyYou Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 500 bucks for an AK???? Prices have gone up since I last checked.... Used to be, you could pick them up used around here for under 200 bucks. Yugo SKS ran about the same. (I have two.....) Shotgun is most certainly the weapon of choice for home defense. You wanna watch Mr. Burglar wet himself? Cycle the action once, and holler FREEZE!!!!! And the floor will become wet. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzerfong Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Gotta go with a 12gauge (Mossberg 500 series) with an 18" barrel and a folding stock so you can maneuver in tight spots and not have a large profile. Since most rooms are small the 18" barrel will force a spread quickly and cover a large area. Point it down the hall and watch things die. I'd use 7 1/2 birdshot so you wont shoot through walls. And take the restricter out of the magazine tube so you can rack two extra shells. Answer your question? :tongue: That's the point, when people claim to buy an AR-15 not for hunting, but for personal defense, I know they're lying. If you want defense, go for a shotgun (Remington or Mossberg sounds nice, NOT a double-barrel one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had one for home defense with a folding stock, (I lived out in the sticks..... nearest neighbor was a mile away....) Had another for varmints. Full wood stock, and a scope...... If I could see it, I could kill it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted472477User Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I'm one of the few liberals you meet who doesn't support gun control. My father was part of the company police force for Conrail railroad, he worked for them for nearly 30 years. He always believed in the saying "If guns were outlawed, then only outlaws would have guns." He taught me that guns were neither bad nor good, it was in how they were used, and that they shouldn't be feared so much as respected for the deadly tool they are. He taught me to always treat them like they are loaded. He wasn't all "hurr hurr, yehaw, got me some guns!" the way the stereotype seems to go. When I joined the Navy back in 1982, I already had a decent idea of how to treat them. By the same token, I've never felt a need to own one, nor carry one, but I wouldn't push my feelings on eithers, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so with a 7.62X39 hollow point. I would regularly shoot at 75 yards or more...... .22 just wasn't effective enough. ( I ran out of ammo for the .22 magnum, but, had a thousand and some change 7.62.... easy decision. :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
