If someone broke into your house and it threatened the life of your family, what would your weapon of choice be?
I chose Nail Bat.
If your choice is a Dog or other animal just select "I have my own security service" since I'm pretty sure the majority of people here do not have one.
Sorry for excluding the Shotgun.
Purple Grape Juice . It stains real bad and impossible to get out .
Mine injures people when she is trying to be friendly. She's what you would call a bite dog. No one in their right mind would come through any door she was on the other side of. Whereas a gun wouldn't wake me up for an intruder, she would before the intrusion. The downside, sometimes I worry about her getting stolen.
Dogs are great they hear ,sense an intruder . Put a lock on your fence if you worry she might get stolen . Wrap a chain around it and lock it .
Sigh, most break ins don't happen while you are watching the afternoon soaps. They happen late at night and early morning.
Most like myself keep a weapon in the nightstand or wherever its handy. I sleep light and a mouse farting would wake me up.
Needless to say if an intruder entered my home he would not exit in the same condition.
Unlike many gun owners who feel owning one is good enough I practice a lot. Not to mention I am a combat vet.
lol when I qualified in basic I couldnt hit a thing. We had the paper target . As you know everyone qualifys at same time . After everyone is finished you go up and get your target give it to DS .
I jabbed holes in it with a pencil I had in my web gear thats how I qualified .
Later on firing at the pop up target by some miracle I hit few feet in front but the pebbles,etc knocked enough targets down that I qualified.
I was artillery not infantry so "didnt matter" I dont wear glasses just cant hit anything unless close or get lucky.
My husband, former Marine...he could put a hurtin on someone
Gosh, in my 20s I can't count how many military guys (even mix of army and marine) I had to put down in bars because of their hot tempers. Of course, most were short and drunk, so they were at an immediate disadvantage. Not a swipe at armed forces' fighting ability, just a nostaglic reminder that I happened to run into the rotten apples of the barrel.
Lost one time and got my butt kicked by 2 at the same time (how fair is that?). One went to the hospital with a broken leg and nose.

To protect my house against a break-in/assault I would want a sawed off 12ga shotgun like one of the cheap "western shooting" types and/or a Taurus Judge .410/.45 revolver.
To protect my assets I would want a good financier and/or lawyer.
