Guns? What guns? I sold all mine. Isn't that what the police are for?

G36 .45, 12ga, surefire light oh ya and cell phone for clean up
Dog.
He a nice dog, 55 lbs of licking in the face and wagging tail (Labrador-Border Collie X). Even so, he WILL BARK if someone tries to break in. I doubt he'll bite though, which is fine with me since I don't want him in harms way anyway. A warning bark and I'll baricade myself in one room, call the police, and hope the police come before the BG comes in the room I'm in. If not, I have a Remington HD shotgun loaded with 02 birdshot (Fed Personal Defense Load), and a .357 magnum at the ready. The revolver is a backup, if the 12 gauge runs out of ammo, breaks a firing pin, or jams the .357 magnum is a last ditch gun.

Sorry, I don't have an arsenal.
It's a pet peeve of mine. An arsenal is a government facility where weapons are manufactured, stored, repaired and such.
I've got some long guns in the house, though. 12ga. with dove loads for indoor HD. Pheasant loads in wintertime. Slugs within reach. There have been home-invasion robberies here. Fewer since a local guy tagged a couple of BGs with his AR, though.

Probably adequate.
With decent defence perimeter.

HUM... I see a lot of 12ga...I have been thinking on getting one, to add to my H&K45 and Mini 14. With so many, what is the best? If "best" is a good word...I want a shorter model, with the biggest capacity? Any ideas?

My side of the bed: Glock 20 with Doubletap 165 Golden Sabers (1440 fps)
Passenger side: Springfield MilSpec 1911A1 with 200 grain +P Gold Dots.
In nearby closet: SKS with Wolf 122 grain HP's, Benelli Nova with 00 Buck.
On top of large bedroom dresser: 1943 SA Garand with three loaded clips.
In living room gun closet: Armalite M15A2 with 20 Winchester Q3131A's, Winchester 1943 M1 Carbine with 15 Federal softpoints.
Sheriffs patrol around here (very rural) on a random 20-hour-per-week contract. A 911 call gets answered between 10 and 30 minutes.
I ain't waiting.

A few strategically placed home-made explosive devices.
Trust me...
When I tell you to stay off the black tiles in the kitchen, you had better listen.
Suffice it to say that I have something semi-automatic that holds lots and lots of 123gr bullets, followed by something semi-automatic that holds lots and lots of 115gr JHP's.
If they get past those, I fix the bayonet on my Mosin-Nagant and teach them about what makes the green grass grow.

I have stuff and have a plan.
I also have that big rope in event of fire since I'm 3rd level, front blocked...alley-oop down the back into the woods, name of the game is to survive.

Well, if they get past the turret mounted .50s on the roof and the infamous tactical kitty, they can meet my .38 special loaded with Federal Hyda-Shoks, followed by the USP9 and the SKS.
If I have about thirty minutes of warning so that I can get the darn thing loaded, I can turn the Navy Model 1851 loose on them

Live on a dead-end street in a decent neigborhood. Lighting outside at night including always-on and motion detectors. Cell phone and a roomate who had about the opposite schedule as I do so people are constantly comming and going.
If, in spite of all that, someone is stupid enough to pull something right next to my bed is a Bushmaster M17S with two 30 round mags full of 55gr HP Wolf ammo, dot sight and irons for back-up.

Gail's right eye is bad, so she has a post-ban AR shorty with EOTech Holosight, muzzle brake and A-1 length stock. Backup is a .410 single shot (until we get a 20 gauge auto) and a Taurus .357 snub.
I have a 20" pre-ban AR with stock sights and LOOONG stock for lanky bastards like me, a couple of 1911s and a Grendel .380. Backup is a Remington 870 with an 8 round tube and 20" barrel.
Morrigan is almost 6, but has a Crickett .22 and can use the Taurus 92 or a 10-22 with both hands and a rest.
Scenarios:
Someone comes in the back, face full of buckshot.
Someone knocks in the front door, torso full of 5.56.
Someone comes at us on the street or while traveling, as much .357, .45 or .380 as it takes to make them be a good boy.
TEOTWAWKI: We pack up and head for our buddy's nowhere places. Got two. Both VERY secure, remote enough not to be found, and accessible by road if you know how to drive.
Every vehicle has a fire extinguisher (with no trigger lock) and first aid kit, house has a field surgical kit, the usual MREs, car bailout kits include sterno and cold weather gear, axes and saws, boltcutters. Home has dry and canned goods, fireplace, many acres of corn behind us (not ours, but good clear field of fire, and edible in emergency) and military Arctic gear and the new rucks.
And I make knives for a living. You better BELIEVE my 6 year old knows where the arteries are on the human thigh. We're all better than average with bayonet and butt, machete, sword and knife, kung fu or gun fu.
If I have to, I can forge barrels instead of blades.
No dogs. Noisy, crap in the yard and want walked and fed. A 12 gauge is easier.
