Home Defense

**Lqdsilver** · 01-03-2010, 04:55 PM

XD 45 loaded in my nightstand, with an extra mag. 3 other mags loaded in various spots around the house. Never know..

**Sarge** · 01-03-2010, 05:10 PM

Yeah my daily carry is a Springfield XD 9 mm loaded with +P+ hollow points.....I love that gun.....my Glocks dont see much daylight these days

1911

my situation kinda sucks, because my house kinda funnels intruders down my hallway like the hot gates at sparta for the persians. what sucks is shooting down my hallway is aimed right at my neighbors house, so I have to be concerned about rifle rounds over penetrating. if that wasnt a concern, I would vote AK.

My HK USP9 is my primary defense.

Its carried IWB @ 5:00 all day, and goes between the headboard and mattress at night. Its loaded with 124gr+P+ Speer GoldDots.

If I need more than that, I have a Stainless Taurus PT92AFS hanging on a 3" screw inside my hall linen closet, above the door. It is loaded with Winchester loaded Sinterfire 90gr+P frangibles(as to not exit my house and enter a neighbors).

Between that 34 rounds, it'll be more than enough to get me down to the safes in the basement.

I keep my AR, and 24 loaded 30 round mags in the safe. 10 mags with SS109 M855 penetrators, 10 with 77gr SBTHP's, and three with Extreme Shock 40gr HP anti-terrorist.

I also have 3500 rounds of the SS109 on stripper clips in cans ready for the SHTF Bug-out.

I also keep my Glock 20 10mm and 7 loaded mags ready to rock.

Ya know, just in case....................

.45 XD with laser and tac light on the night stand. Winchester 1300 defender on the left side if the night stand. AR-15 AP4 16" on the right side. If there are children in the house all guns are unloaded and put away. Otherwise all are fully loaded with 1 in the pipe. I keep training with the XD to make it my natural choice for home defense. The problem is the defender is not a large scatter gun. It is very easy to choose. I can say this about scatter guns. I had a cover on my boat cut off 3 times to get to the fish finder and trolling motor. I have always taken them off the boat and put them in the garage. The third time I heard them. I went out and saw 3 people cutting the cover off. I did not say a word but racked the scatter gun. I have never seen people run that fast in my life.

XD 9,40 or 45 is the only way to go IMO...

Master bedroom upstairs. Angle of entry is favorable to the bedroom occupants. Intruder at top of staircase can be fired on immediately with no chance of hitting other loved ones.

Two guns are readily available, both high-capacity pistols. High lumen flashlights and knives as well. I f you make me fight my way to the safe, you'd better have a tank outside when I reach it.

**ArcticZ06** · 01-04-2010, 08:16 AM

XD45 in the nightstand
AR10 in the closet, one mag with AP and one with HP ammo
aluminum baseball bat within arms reach of the bed

and looking for a collapsable stock 12ga to add to the collection.

If I wake up to the sound of the door or window breaking, and someone is already inside (I'd know pretty quick because I have dogs), I'd grab the Glock 32 off my nightstand.

If there was a banging on the door or other commotion outside, and I had time to prepare a reaction, I'm grabbing my pump-action Remington 870 Marine Magnum. Loaded full with 00 Buck.

Make me own only one of them and I'd have to go with the Glock 32. It can leave the house with me, and handle most situations. I love that gun because it holds 13 .357 Sig rounds. It has the power of two .357 Magnum Revolvers rolled into a convenient, semi-automatic killing system.

Not to start an argument, but it has better penetration than a .45.

I keep a Sig 1911 or HK P7M8 in the nightstand depending on whichever I don't have stashed somewhere else in the house.

There's a Sig 556 under the bed with an EOtech and Fenix light.

There's a 7.62x39 rifle and a 12 ga. locked in the closet on the other side of the house.

I also keep a similar rifle folded and stashed in my truck.

My dad was murdered in a day-to-day place in a situation where he would have likely survived if he'd have been carrying like he should have.

I don't go far w/o something.

**Krazydan** · 01-04-2010, 06:46 PM

I have my Kimber Tactical .45 with in reach and my Mossberg Maverick 88 12 gauge in the closet

**HOBS** · 01-04-2010, 08:10 PM

Springfield XD .45 above my headboard with 2 clips half-loaded with 230 grain hollowpoint gold dots. Rifles and shotguns 10 feet away but not much good cause I dont keep 'em loaded

**Spikito** · 01-05-2010, 12:31 AM

prob gonna pick up one of these soon....nothing special, just something to keep loaded by the bed. i see a lot of stoeger 20 guages going cheap....i know 20 isnt much, but buckshot, close range, shouldnt matter, lol......the furthest shot i can make within my apartment is 20 feet.

I personally don't think it's a good idea to be letting everyone who roams the internet know every single place you have guns "hidden" in your home..............

I would suggest finding new hiding spots now to all those who have

**Tobynine9** · 01-05-2010, 06:03 AM

Says the man in Chicago who can't even legally own a handgun...

Gotta get in first. That's mistake #1. Of course, I said "readily available", and that leaves a lot of room to maneuver. Good luck getting into the safe, and unless you brought a bulldozer, nobody's moving it.

**Spikito** · 01-05-2010, 08:52 AM

Thats a double edged sword...if they read this, they'll know they can get guns if they break in and you arent home. But at the same time, they know if you are home, theyre royally fucked

I agree it's better to keep a little mystery about things, but I truly don't believe that LS1.com is gonna be a great resource for housebreakers to target people. Especially people with monikers, not names.

Internet anonymity -- for all you guys know, I am some old fart in Texas with a fast GTO, a couple of good looking daughters, and more guns than I know what to do with.
