its not about how fast you can shoot, its about how small of a target you can hit, without needing to shoot more than once to hit it. 25% of shooters at the range seem to miss this, and dump ammo until they hit the target and then celebrate. If you shoot 2x or more ammo then your number of targets, you really need more practice, better glasses, or to just go home. If i miss a target i kick myself mentally, if i miss it twice, and my sights are all working and zero'd properly, i take a minute and make sure im mentally in the game. I don't sit there, bang bang bang bang, 10 rounds later, there i got it.

Then there are the posers, standing there with a pistol turned sideways, blasting away hitting mostly the ground, or the roof if its indoor, because they think holding it sideways is cool. I'll never forget one guy who was in there with his buddy's dumped the mag, pulled back the paper target on the conveyor, and only 4 of his rounds were even on the paper, but they all missed the silhouette. One of his buddy's razzed him, something like, well we know who we NOT calling in a gun fight.
 
How else are we going to protect ourselves? When our local governmental agencies won't, and our federal government isn't concerned for the safety of USA citizens.
 
Short barreled 12 Guage for home defense would be my ideal weapon of choice. Along with a handgun or two of choice.

2 bedroom. That would always be a concern over penatration. As with most situations. I do have neighbors with in 10-12 feet on the sides. With a lake in the backyard. Buckshot, or birds hot with a full choke. I've kicked around bear spay for non lethal. Or the CO gas paint ball pistol
 
i have a bulk crate of 00 buckshot, 12 gauge for home defense, 1600 fps, hornady black :sneaky:

Other then that I have a stock pile of 5.56, with and without the green tips, a little low on 9 tho, will be fixing it soon as i see a decent deal.
 
Have any of you seen or had experience with the large scale air guns ? Largest I've is the size of a 12 Guage slug. Capable of fairly large game.
 
I advocate for responsible ownership and pro constitutional rights. If you own, the burden of safety falls on you.

Depends where you are from. My home state has them under state law as real rifles which require both a background check and fingerprints. 85 bucks before your cleared for a transfer. I know, it’s dumb

Air and black powder firearms usually don't require a bc, but there are a few states that do. I don't know of any big-bore air rifles or non-cylinder bp guns that don't require a re-load after each shot, which would suck in a modern gunfight. Still better than no gun in a gunfight, though!
 
I think everyone would have a gun in America if it weren't for the substantial financial costs involved. Ownership in America can involve significant costs beyond just the purchase price of the firearm, including expenses for ammunition, accessories, and safe storage. The total cost of ownership can add up considerably over time, making it a financial commitment that varies widely among individuals. So when I hear someone say they have a lot of guns, I think that person must be RICH! 🤔
