It emphasizes the importance of having a loaded, ready, and accessible firearm, along with proper training for all household members, to ensure effective self-defense in high-stress situations.

This expert guide, presented by CajunBoyJake, details a ballistic comparison between a 9mm pistol and a .223 Rem rifle for home defense. Through live testing with Lehigh Defense ammunition and a Ballistic Precision Chronograph, the video demonstrates the significant velocity and terminal ballistics advantages of the rifle caliber, concluding that a rifle is the superior choice for home defense.

This analysis from Active Self Protection, led by John Correia, breaks down a real-world engagement where guards with pistols faced attackers armed with rifles. It emphasizes the critical importance of tactical movement, effective use of cover, and the necessity of high-level firearm skills and reliable equipment when facing a superior threat. The video highlights the challenges of handgun-only defense against rifle threats and the need for rigorous training.

This video, featuring commentary from John Correia of Active Self Protection, emphasizes the critical importance of the first shot in a gunfight. It details a scenario where an officer engages a perpetrator behind a car door at 26 yards, highlighting that even with limited presentation, the first accurate hit often determines the outcome. The advice focuses on aiming for the high center chest, acknowledging handgun round penetration of car doors, and asserting that speed and accuracy on the initial shot can overcome rifle threats.

This video discusses the nuances of reloading 6.5 Grendel and delves into the controversial topic of using .22 Long Rifle for self-defense. The speaker, an experienced reloader and shooter, highlights the ease of reloading 6.5 Grendel and contrasts it with the challenges of .22 LR reliability due to its rimfire priming mechanism. While acknowledging potential applications for .22 LR in self-defense for specific individuals, the speaker strongly advises against it as a primary choice, favoring rifle platforms over handguns for this caliber and recommending specific ammunition types for improved performance.

This video features Edwin Sarkissian conducting an experimental ballistic test, determining how many cast iron skillets it takes to stop a .500 Magnum and an AK-47 round. The test reveals that both powerful rounds were stopped by the third skillet, offering a unique insight into projectile energy versus material resistance. The demonstration highlights the impressive penetration capabilities of the .500 S&W Magnum and the 7.62x39mm round when faced with a dense, albeit unconventional, barrier.

Dan Bongino critiques Lawrence O'Donnell's commentary on the AR-15, highlighting perceived inaccuracies regarding bullet speed and tactical superiority. Bongino argues that O'Donnell's points are preposterous and that the AR platform's effectiveness in self-defense scenarios is being misrepresented. He contrasts the AR-15 with handguns like the Smith & Wesson 5946 and Sig Sauer P229, used by law enforcement, to illustrate the concept of tactical superiority and the ability to fight back.

This guide, drawing on the analytical and realistic tone of TFB TV, clarifies the true capabilities and limitations of handguns. It contrasts their power and effectiveness with rifles, citing specific ballistic data and historical context. The information emphasizes that handguns are primarily defensive tools, a compromise for concealability, and highlights their survivability compared to rifle wounds.
