[QUOTE="shooterdc9, post: 944326, member: 1050"] Burklee, I think, hands down, a shotgun. But, with that said, I also have and will use the trusty handgun. I feel that if you do use a shotgun, use a pump shotgun so the intruder can really HEAR the shell going into the chamber as you pump it. That also would and could be a deterrent to the intruder. I use both. I found a system that fits inbetween the matress and box spring. It's a piece of flat pressed metal painted black and formed into an "L". You velcro the long piece on top of the box springs which leaves a thin short piece standing up straight. Attach a molded holster such as a slide holster which is designed to fit it. Keep in mind the holster is included with two sizes provided, one for the smaller gun and one for a full size. That's how simple it is. I found this setup on the NRA web site. Very inexpensive. As far as the shotgun, I have a Mossberg 500 12ga. pump. I found the short barrel for it, took off the long barrel and put on the short barrel and voila, the perfect home protection system. The short barrel helps much, much more inside a small area like your home. So I have one handgun right next to me in between the matress and box spring right up in the area of my hand when I am laying down and one across the room hidden behind the bedroom door locked and loaded. :rubhands: [/QUOTE]
