Shotguns are the best thing for home defense. The most popular for home defense would be the Mossberg 500 or the Remington 870. If you want a safe, it might be better to go with a pistol and store it in one of those quick code safes you keep in a drawer or under the bed. As far as caliber goes, stay away from anything under 9mm. Small rounds such as 22LR, 25 ACP, 32 ACP, and 380 ACP don't have enough penetration to really stop anyone. If you are at the point where you are shooting someone to defend yourself or you family, shoot to kill. I would suggest 9mm or 45 ACP over the 40 S&W because they are easier to control and allow for an easier follow up shot. For pistols I personally love Glocks, Sig Sauers, and 1911's. Stick to the standard makes such as S&W, Sig, Glock, H&K, Springfield, Beretta, etc. (I would suggest staying away from Taurus because they have reliability issues.). In the end, the pistol you should get is the one you will practice with often and like to shoot. For home defense: Shotgun > semi-auto rifle such as AR15 > pistol

I actually JUST saw this on FB...

I believe that means no.

That is a complicated question. Usually .____ means that the bullet itself is .X" in diameter. When you start getting to the XX-YY rounds you're talking about early rounds that predate world war 1 (usually). The XX usually represents the size of bullet while the YY usually represents the size of catridge or year or something (what the universal meaning of YY is? you got me, someone else here may be able to explain more than me). Shotgun is in gauge, which (like the size of your pipes or the size of a tattoo artist's ear plug) measures the size of the shell. The smaller the number, the larger the round. With that said, there are different types of shot (also getting larger and the number gets smaller). 00 buckshot is precisely that, shot large enough to take down a buck (and quite fantastic for taking down a human). Hope that helps clear some things up. One good source is Wikipedia (yes, Wikipedia is quite the reliable source for such things) Teaser: What is the difference between a 30-30 and a 30-06? EDIT: An AAxBB round means that the bullet is AA mm in diameter and the cartridge is BB mm in length. (5.56x45 = .223*) *most of the time

I would suggest 308/7.62x51 for anything larger than a boar (possibly 270 or 260 depending on what you're hunting such as deer). For a boar I would suggest 7.62x39 or 300 blackout. Anything smaller than that I would suggest 223/5.56 or anything else 22 caliber (22-250, 22 wmr, etc.). If you're shooting squirrels, 22 LR. As far as birds go... <enter full list of shotgun rounds here>.

What are you hunting? The kind of gun you will need will vary greatly depending on what kind of game you're killing.

I will match your messed-up-ness with:

Get a derp Husky. Huskies have the greatest personalities.

When caught in the moral dilemna of to the oasis and I wasn't quite sure when she was coming from but so I slapped that turtle.

Get excited about college.

40 Seconds? Dam, you've mastered masturbating!

Any dog will get along with other animals as long as you raise it from the time it's a puppy. I have a husky who is best friends with 2 cats, and huskies are known to eat cats. Just remember, larger dogs need more exercise and smarter dogs require more diligent training.

Very nice, you definitely have a great gun there. ARs are legos for adults, I love it.
