Legacy Escort Aimguard 12ga. 7rds of birdshot* w/ 3 00buck and 2 slugs in buttcuff.
I have a handgun, but I dont keep loaded mags for it. 10mm defensive ammo is damned expensive anyway. If you wanted to consider the AK a backup, I keep loaded mags (alternating fmj and SP) for it in ammo cans.
*Longest shot is 12yds, if I stood in the kitchen sink.

Primary weapon is my brain. Handy thing, that.
Secondary weapons include a .223 carbine, 9mm pistol, and cellphone. Also handy.

Couldn't answer in the poll. Shotgun, backed by rifle. 870 and choice of Kel-Tec 9mm or Mosin Nagant, depending on range.

SKS followed by either a Mauser or a CETME. Not the greatest setup, I know but I haven't gotten around to getting a shotgun.(Can't have a pistol, OH NO, not old enough for one of them DANGEROUS things. Them three rifles hanging over my bed are just fine but I could KILL SOMEONE with a handgun. ) Neighbors are behind a wooded hill, at least, nothing to worry about there.

I voted for shotgun backed up by handgun, but its really the other way around. I always have the handgun on me or next to the bed, and the shotgun is in the closet. So for surprise stuff its use the handgun to fight to the shotgun. For investigating things, its a handgun in the waistband, and grab the cruiser ready 870 from the closet and check things out. the 870 has 5 8pellet 00 buckshot in the tube, with 6 more in the saddle, and 6 rr slugs on the stock. This is my grab and go gun for both hd and social situations in the neighborhood. I also keep my ar ready to go in the safe, with a vest loaded with mags hanging next to it.

Handgun backed up by rifle.
For "normal" self defense against run of the mill criminals, the handgun's plenty enough. For SHTF defense against zombies, riots, mass invasion, brown shirts, Al-Q, etc, the rifle(s) get shuffled into the deck.

Rottweiler backed by a shotgun.
The only loaded gun in my house is a shotgun (normally). If I can't solve the problem with that, more guns aren't going to help.
I do have loaded magazines lying around left over from shooting sessions and either carbines or handguns could be brought into play in short order, but this isn't something I specifically planned.

a Glock 22 with Black Talons, a laser and streamlight scorpion, backed by a Mossburg 500, 12 gage with scorpion light, double pistil grips and a 18.100 long bore barrel and just enough overtallength to mneet the 26" requirement. Loaded with 3 #1 Buck's & 3 slugs. If they get past all that, my better half's got a 38+p, 20 ga rem 100 and 2 attack cats that have untrimmed claws.

Nothing right now, seeing that my sheeple parents keep the guns locked up. Eventually, I hope to have a handgun (USP .40) backed by both shotgun (undecided, some pump or semi) and a rifle (Kel-tec SU16 if I stay in Kali, an AR if I move)

Shotgun and a handgun.
Mr. White stole my answer....blatant plagarism...except he was first
I have a Glock 19 w/M3 light ....and a knife....
In my home in the dark....the knife might be my first choice
For those of you with shotguns.....your load probably doesn't matter
At most household ranges the wad will likely go right through the bad guy
You guys with rifles....I hope you aren't any of my neighbors...or I am gonna start sleeping in the basement!
