Most people will answer this with some brand and model of firearm. And firearms are good and certainly very important, but I can think of several weapons that are actually "better" in sense that they're more likely to have the desired effect: repelling hostile intruders and protecting your family.
A good, loyal dog with a commanding presence is actually the very best home defense weapon you could possibly have. Our four-year old German Shepherd, a total cream-puff with us, can look very threatening when he's alerted to something. And he constantly looks at me for clues; a mere widening of my eyes can set him after someone with extreme aggressiveness. Usually, if would-be ne're-do-wells just hear a large dog barking on alert, they'll slink away in search of easier prey.
But if you can't get a dawg, get a Mossberg 12 ga. shotgun with 00 buck shells. Chink-chink, mo-fo.  Last edited on Sat Dec 10th, 2005 05:38 by Samurai Appliance Repair Man
