thats a good point, my shotgun holds 8 rounds total (1 in the chamber) and i think thats plenty. but then again, a good friend of mine was victim of a serious home invasion attempt a few years ago. it was him and his dad against 6~7 bad guys, all armed and needless to say they went through several dozen rounds and mags. 3 of the bad guys were hit and later arrested at the hospital. all were later caught and still in prison.

there is no such thing as over-prepared when it comes to home protection

I've had the same thing happen to my buddy, mom, sister, and sister's baby. They are all in prison (the only reason I am even bringing it up) he woke up with his .45 to his head...needless to say I always kept telling him he needed to lock his door and not sleep so hard. They got in without breaking and entering just opened the door casually walked in to his room picked his handgun off the bed that he was laying on and woke him up with it. As you said jose, no such thing as over prepared in my book.
 
sorry to hear that man! its a scary thing, and its reality. a lot of people like to think that it will never happen to them but in this world, you cant be so sure and you need to be ready. i tend to be a heavy sleeper as well, so i keep the bedroom door locked to give me a few extra seconds to react just in case...

Also, if you like tinkering and re-doing wood and stuff get your Curio&Relic liscense and you can have C&R guns shipped to your door! I love taking an old rifle and making it beautiful again. Besides, to me, a real gun should have wood on it! Another bonus is that many many C&Rs are cheap!

You just know I'm going to yell at you now right?
Be careful about what C&R you tinker with..Some of those $59.95 specials are worth $500 to $600 (beat up but original) to a fool like me if I need it as an example in the collection.. Mess it up and it is a hunk of metal and wood worth 10.00 and one very dirty word filled rant...

Oh yeah nice M-4 BTW...

No bubba here!

Just a good rinse to remove the cosmo and a gentle rub down of the stock with some tung oil wont hurt...

I can smell that wonderous aroma right now!
 
Sorry to hear about those situations! Certainly bad things are sure to happen, too many bad guys out there. Given the means and the circumstances you may have to make a stand and its good to be ready. I might fight it out in such a situation but I want my wife and in-laws to get out. I think too I might even slip out the back window and re-engage the bad guys from outside. I dont know if the law would protect me in that case but Its more tactically sound than shooting back and forth down a hallway.
Hopefully you never have to use those sweet weapons to protect your family.
 
Yes I certainly hope I never have to either, but you just can't be too safe nowadays.

Ahhhh...the pleasures of C&R
