I really don't care who knows I have guns.... Bring 'em on! The feds already know and anyone else that believes they can take mine is a fool. A few months ago, two idiots came to the house about midnight. The dogs (3) started barking. I met them next to the house with a MOD 12. I don't think they will be back. We have three defenses out here. 1. Only one road in and out. 2. Three dogs. And 3. 4 people here that can shoot well! Bring 'em on! ╦╦Ç

Terry, I will not walk up to your house seeking permission to metal detect, promise. OUrah!

You may safely walk up on the house unless..... you have a firearm in your hands. Protecting my ass is ok. Doing something stupid will only put me in prison. ╦╦Ç

A Russian 91.30 will punch through 1/2" plate steel at 500 meters.

And it can hit it, too. ;-) Though I consider mine more a firearm to protect my neighbor's house across the road and out a long driveway. Not an indoor type weapon!

Nice group, partner, but what's with the "flyer"? Just pulling your leg. ╦╦Ç

You know how it is with surplus ammo. ;-)

Markmanship is knowing how to shoot.

Hunting is knowing when to shoot. ;-)

Ok I had an intruder in the house yesterday, and yes I had to use lethal force. Took out the Beretta pistol and took aim-one shot it was finished. Off to mouse cemetery it went. Lucky we have the two watch cats on duty looking at it first, but totally useless for catching furry rodents

Fire power should not be measured by the size of your weapon, but by what you can do with it. ╦╦Ç

That's what she said.

You just need some chickens. We've had a few of those dinosaurs for a few years and no more pack rat or mouse problems. They are the only domestic animal I know of that would happily eat you from the asswards in if you died in their presence and they are also cannibals. They are truly remnants from the dinosaur days and I'm convinced.
Chickens solve rodent problems I can assure you, and with a vengeance.

We had a wolverine come try to take a dead baby lamb from our wolf dog one night and that was a fight to see. It was easy to break up with a gun shot and it was over and my wolf dog learned a valuable lesson haha.
Chickens on the other hand don't play around.
We actually had one as a pet for a number of years and she had an indoor coop and was an awesome pet but they are dinosaurs and you need to remember that. They will pick your eyeballs out just as easily as they can love you haha.
I love chickens.

Every artist knows when you draw a chicken you are also drawing a T-Rex. Just some of the features are changed to protect the innocent. Lol

I might also add, in self-defense it's also knowing when not to shoot.

Oh man.......I don't know if I'll eat chicken again.

Stopped reading comments when it got political. Anyway, to answer the OP's original question, a shotgun is youre best bet. Cant believe some of the suggestions posted. The issue with home defense, and todays poorly constructed homes is over penetration. Some suggested an AR, a 9mm, really? First off if the intruder is far enough away that you need an AR, let him go, a 9mm round will penetrate 2- 3 walls and may hit an innocent person. A pump shotgun loaded with #7-8 birdshot is ideal.
