Best to get one now before new gun laws enacted Perhaps also a huge store of ammo or reloading supplies. That may be the first line of attack.

I strongly suggest the "go to "weapon for home and personal defense is a Glock 9mm with laser sights..a shotgun is too cumbersome for sliding around the house checking things,and it's too easy for someone to grab it as you go around a corner. Or get both and see what fits your particular situation. Regards,P1976 theboxotruth.com theboxotruth.com " Lessons learned: 1. Notice that the #4 and #1 Buck penetrated 6 boards. In previous tests, 9mm, .45 ACP, and M-193 out of an AR all penetrated all 12 boards. So, it seems that these loads do not "over-penetrate" as much as some have led us to believe. The 00 Buck penetrated 8 boards, but was stopped by the 9th. Still not as much penetration as the pistol or rifle loads. The slug penetrated all 12 boards. 2. Once again, please notice the size of the entrance spreads....2 1/2" to 3 1/2". Therefore, anyone that says, "With a shotgun, you don't even have to aim. Just point it in the general area of the bad guy, and you can't miss", does not know what they are talking about. You can very easily miss with a shotgun. You must aim to hit your target. 3. The slugs were "bad" penetrators. By that, I mean that they will penetrate several interior walls. If you have loved ones in your home, consider this as you select your home defense weapon. 4. I "racked" the shotgun several times during the tests, and no bystanders lost control of their bowels. Conclusion: Racking a shotgun will not make the bad guy faint. Frankly, I was surprised that the shotgun did not penetrate more than it did. I had been led to believe that they penetrated more than a .223 rifle or a 9mm or .45 ACP. Such was not the case. Amazing what you can learn by doing a little testing." this is a great site for info on weapons and different loads. theboxotruth.com
