And sometimes it isnt who has the bigger gun it is who is able to use the gun they have better...but I dont care how good you are with a certain gun if isnt able to peirce body armor and I am being fired on by a fully auto weapon I am going to aim for central mass not his face...
i really meant "better" not bigger but i agree with you completely. personally, if i were going to choose a gun to protect my house it would be a shotgun. a huge spread, powerful, reliable. also, you're less likely to face murder charges for firing one shotgun shot vs. 10 ak rounds. homeowners facing jailtime for self-protection is really not that uncommon.
