I once had several large biker types breaking down my door in the middle of the night knowing we in there and I had no gun. For some reason, they reconsidered. I suspect they thought I was armed (I was not). I moved soon afterwards (as members of this "biker gang" were frequently guests of my duplex neighbor). Sure wished I had a gun that night. When I was younger, I felt a bit more invincible than today and figured that I could "handle myself"...Not so much these days. Plus I live in a rural area like Seahawk and if I call 911, the response might be quite long. I prefer to have weapons. A pump 12 gauge for intruders and some ARs in case of a zombie apocalypse. I really don't practice, but am confident of my ability to use either in the type scenario I envision as I can see anyone coming a long ways away, have lights and an alarm.
