Firearms for home protection

[StogieStang]

They both are nice.  The 26 is a lot easier to conceal.

How many of you carry a weapon on you? What are some places where you are allowed to arm yourself?

[StogieStang]

I carry a weapon on me.  Easier to say where you can't carry.  In FL I can carry everywhere except government buildings, police department, airport, and professional events such as a professional baseball stadium.

And public schools and grounds...

[StogieStang]

Yes, that too.  Thanks

I have a H&K USP 9mm that I love for defense

What type of firearms do you guys have for home protection?

The reason I ask is that last night a home invasion occured about 2 miles from me. Fortunately the owner had protection and the home invader was sent to meet his maker. One of my neighbors is a county police seargent and told me the owner was well within his rights to shoot the guy and no charges would be filed. He also told me our area has been "claimed" by a Mexican gang called MS-13. The county police seem to be very worried about their presence.  This is also Hells Angels territory albiet I am not too worried about those guys. But around the holidays home break-ins are a  problem around here and with the economy being what it is I am a bit more concerned for my than I have been in the past. So what do you guys use for protection?

Man, it upsets me to end...all the liberals say "oh all the illegals are just hard working people looking to better themselves...yea right...i dont want to make this a political post, but it is aggravating that gun laws are getting more strict and more strict to the common man who just wants to protect himself...none the less...i would reccomend a 12 guage shotgun, someone mentioned the remington 870 model...that is great...as for shells most seem to reccomend buckshot...def. get a 12 guage, then after that you can look at pistols, etc...wish you the best.

I agree completely. The idea that taking guns off the street is going to deter violent crimes is ridiculous. No guns? Criminals will just use knives or bats or something else. And speaking of gun LAWS, why would any law stop a criminal from doing anything? Criminals don't follow the LAW, that's why they're criminals!

I don't own a gun yet, since I'm not old enough. I'm not sure if the "gun laws" are different in Tennessee that they are nationally. 2nd Amendment forever!

If your state allows concealed carry and you have ever considered it. I would recommend you start the process. It is very easy here in Florida I don't know what it's like elsewhere. I have heard there has been a lot of new applications here. We don't know what the future is for our gun rights. A membership with the NRA can help in keeping our second amendment rights. As for home protection a 12ga can make a near miss fatal.

Living in alaska, I am within my rights to carry concealed without a permit anywhere I want spare gov. Buildings, banks and schools. The kitchen I work in has a shotgun in the bathroom and a 44 s&w by the front door.

here at home I have a 12ga that is the exact legal length and nothing more, a ball bat, a glock 17, and my s&w 44.
On me is always a 9mm, and my wife carries the same gun. The car has a 12ga and a 9mm as well

We stay protected around my house

Chef....where abouts in Alaska do you live??

We can carry in banks here in FL.  That doesn't make much sense that you can't.  Alaska only wants the bank robbers to be armed?

its a shame here in the state maryland...maryland is becoming more liberal then cali or mass...forget about getting a permit to carry...nearly impossible... where i live in maryland is very rural, and full of farmland and very conservative, many parts of maryland is conservative but all the liberalness is centered around baltimore city and bordering washington dc and northern va, this state is becoming like i said earlier more liberal then california or massachusesst...sorry about the political rant but it is something that really annoys me.
