When someone comes in ,uninvited, which do you grab first?
My pistol is right next to me.
The AR 15 is next to my wife.
The shotgun is leaning against the wall by the bed.
The dog doesn't own a gun.
Pistol. Here's why:
- Pistol is easy to store where I can access it
- Pistol is easier for me to use to clear rooms
- Pistol will do everything a rifle will do to an intruder at distances of less than 30 feet
- I have nice things, things I don't want destroyed with buckshot going everywhere
- Shotgun is heavy and, like a rifle, not easy to store.
- I trust my semi-auto pistol more than I trust a semi-auto shotgun. I have seen some very fine semi-auto shotguns jam because 12 ga ammo pretty much sucks. As for pump-action shotguns - not into them at all! Noisy and cumbersome.
But, the real reason? I just like a nice pistol better than a shotgun or some kind of AR/AK rifle.
