Frequently Asked Questions

How can a shotgun be used as a home defense deterrent?

A 12-gauge shotgun can serve as a deterrent primarily through its sound. The distinct action of racking the shotgun, combined with a clear verbal warning to an intruder, can effectively discourage them from proceeding further into the home.

Why is a pistol better than a shotgun for clearing rooms in a home?

Long shotguns, like a 48-inch model, are difficult to maneuver through standard doorways (around 32 inches). A pistol, especially with a weapon-mounted light, offers superior agility and control for navigating tight spaces and clearing rooms during a home defense situation.

What is the recommended firearm for investigating noises inside a home?

For investigating noises within the home, a pistol equipped with a weapon-mounted light is recommended. This combination allows for better maneuverability in confined spaces and provides illumination to identify threats.
