Can't go wrong with a 12 gauge. Spray til your out of ammo.
Spot on. And if you want to look like a bad ass when visitors come over, you can get a tactical shotgun with plastic crap stuck on it to make it look like a military grade weapon.

Right, and if you want to look like a true badass of a red blooded gun toting 'Murican, even when you're stuck in traffic, you can get one of these awesome, badass window decals for your ride:
I too would have thought it would be a handgun that fits nicely into a purse.
It is a good gun to defend from a home invasion. Obviously, not for carry. lol. People concerned with defense might have a carry handgun, a home handgun and a rifle and/or shotgun. AR15 is easy for many people to handle. Shotguns can be tough.
I shot one (a "real" one) for a living for a little over a year. I don't think it is the best choice for home defense. It seems best suited for what it was intended - shooting a whole lot of lead into the bush at an unseen enemy. Or mowing down shoppers at Walmart I guess. I don't own one. I keep a shotgun by the bed. First shell snake shot, next shell buckshot.

To each their own.
I, too, have used the -16 in the service, the -14 as well but that's a different subject.
Me, I am using them to engage, in scenario, at 100 yards. Rapid target lock over post sights and engage, reacquire and engage, etc..
Spray? That's not in my training.....ever.
The -15 works very well for one pull, one shot.......one hit.

I said the 12 gauge is best for home defense because you can spray until you're out. I recommended it to women when I did home security years ago and there's nothing I can think of to change this fact. Sure, maneuverability in tight spaces that home design present are a concern but unknown number of perps, fear reducing accuracy, and stopping power far outweigh that hindering factor.
You see, home defense means the perp is already in my house (reading comprehension is key). That means you only give the cops a courtesy call to come pick up the corpse. Tag 'em and bag 'em. It's what we pay taxes for.

Yes, everyone's defense needs and wants are different. Use what you want, and are comfortable with. My primary is a 9MM pistol with 17 rounds, and the back up is an M1 Carbine. I'd use my AR, but don't want the muzzle blast and noise inside. Hopefully, I will never have to use any in self defense.
