Alarm, dog, me and a flashlight and then the Mossberg 500 or the officers model with the flashlight. Prefer the alarm to all others.
I got my bassett hound and siberian husky for first line. They would run up to them and lick them to death and the hound dog howl would wake me up. Got the shotty in the closet and bow in the garage. Hoping to get my permit to carry and get a pistol which would go in the nightstand. Hope never to use it but would feel terrible if I didnt have it and something were to happen to my wife, dogs, and friends.
I have a few items stashed around the house , loaded , but my favorite is my DPMS Panther Arms AR-15 chambered in the .223 with a 6.5-20 X 50 Leupold and a lazer , i dare them .....lol
I've just got my 3' pipe with a taped up handle next to the bed. All of a sudden I'm feeling realy inadequate.
#1 Three Dogs #2 Ruger P-90 .45 and Colt Anaconda .44Mag #3 Kel Tec Sub 2000 folding carbine rifle chambered in 9mm Glock with two 30rd. clips (no safety) #4 Good defense lawyer
I too have a shotgun, 2 of them actually. None are loaded and ready for action though. To be honest I'm not worried In the least of something happening here where I live. I do get your point though. This world Is getting crazy. It's not really the people around you that you have to worry about. It's the yahoo's that swing through every now and then. I have a very short fuse. Probably a good reason not to have a loaded pistol In reach If someone came around acting funny.
I keep a S&W 38(SS) revolver right here with me.I have an Browning .380(Italian made)It was Dad's 2-30-30's/.22carbine.2 bows...and a killer Pomeranian(the wife's)...lol We just had a scary 3 days.The river(Susquehanna) went to a stage of 42.66 ft!Tippy tippy top of levies!In 1972 we were flooded bad by ''Agnes''. We lost power,all the neighbors boogied!I brought out the weapons,generator,and went for 2 cases of beer/ice! Ran drop light to front porch.Sat there all night....''no problems''
Pomeranian dogs are some of the best watch dogs there are. My grandma has had hers for about 10 years. It's aggressive towards other animals though. I haven't seen it fight a cat or a dog it hasn't beat yet LOL. Very loyal and extremely smart though. That dog understands things you wouldn't think a dog could understand. It even goes as far as hiding my grandmas shoes when it sees her getting ready to go somewhere.
Tim & Grits (your dog Food bill would kill me), Tim You Rock Them little $hits make some noise don't they. Wife was pi$$ed at the rabbits eating her flowers All I said was give me the go ahead! Or STHU! That little dog ruined them rabbits lives...and those tree Rats... Now, if I could train the little $hit to sit in the stand and wake my a$$ up quietly When there is a Booner! Did I mention IR sensors.....yeah right.... buy 3 lane alerts and put them in the woods Here's the trick which tone pertains to what direction? My house is my ultimate Treestand! The Menu.... is Infinite...Long Range to Up Close! It Will suck to be you!
I can only think of the video of the two state troopers unloading there guns at a suburban and not one round found it's mark....@ ten feet by trained professionals no less. Buy a shot gun and saw the barrel off as short as you can and then pray you never have to use it.
Some of this.... And if it gets real bad... I call in some of that. LOL No one has tried to break into my home since 1968. LOL
