mossberg model 500 20 gauge. Live it, learn it, love it
i recommend a mossberg also. 12 gauge though... get the special use one with the heat rail on the barrel. Holds 9 2 3/4inch OO buckshot shells and 1 in the chamber. and 6 3inch OObuck magnum loads... it would definitely make quick work of the intruder. just make sure you hit him cuz those lead balls will rip right through dry-wall.
oh yea...get the mothion sensing lights also..those work very well
I dont know about Atlanta, but Dallas, if you have one of those security systems, the cops WILL NOT show up because they say it burdens the police department. That argument was actually made and the city council approved it. Get a gun and a dog and make it easier on everyone. I do recommend a shotgun. No aiming in the dark. Just orient in the direction of the noise and send that fukcer to his maker!bump...anybody else?? SW Atlanta referral?? thanks all.
I recently had a car vandalized while on a trip. My wife & young daughter were in bed for the night. My wife and I are considering our options & I'm wondering if anyone has any good recommendations for installers/monitoring companies southwest of Atlanta.
Since we're all away so often, I thought someone might have had a similar experience - or could relate how they helped a spouse feel more secure while they were out of town.
I have an OLD monitoring panel that was malfuntioning when we moved in & is not currently monitored. I either need to repair it or more likely get a new system. I'm also really interested in some quality outside/night vision cameras to set up for her to look at if something goes bump in the night outside & she gets scared. (then load the shotgun or call the cops...) thanks all.
Proper firearms training is good but the real question is whether your wife would actually use deadly force. Having a loaded gun does no good if the perp gets ahold of it. Without the mindset, it's worthless.
+1 for security lighting and a good dog.
You'd be amazed how fiercely some dogs will defend their family. I'm not a huge pitbull fan, but heres an example.If on his way to your wife's room he picked up your brand new Wustof Santoku knife from the kitchen about the only thing that will stop him will be the firearm. Certainly not the security lighting or dog.
Load #9 Birdshot. At close range it will have similar effect to OO, but is less likely to penetrate drywall, and less likely to have stray shot going too far.
