Only rifles I have are bolt actions. If I have to use one for HD, I am attaching the bayonet!
I keep a 12 gauge loaded with buckshot for HD.

If you're defending yourself with any firearm then the excrement has hit the fan. Why would you advocate a pistol over a rifle to save your hide.
To clarify my previous question, you stated you have a BCM Middy with an AimPoint & Surefire X300 in the safe, in addition to your light equipped shotgun & handgun. To expand on that, my experience has been that most people both faster & more accurate with a carbine like an M4 copy, than either a semi-auto or pump shotgun. On top of that, you state that your carbine has an AimPoint sight, a sight which greatly increases target acquisition speed over iron sights. It just seems that you're leaving the best CQB weapon you have in the safe.Im not advocating, im stating thets what i would do because that's what I have close by, am most comfortable with, and have trained with.
sorry off topic how's hawaii gun law, can you own common ar-15 type rifle there?Honestly I dont ever expect to use it for home defense, nothing i own is worth killing some one over. They would have to present a threat to either myself or my family, and besides, this is hawaii...one of these days i may take to locking my doors, or putting up the windows on my car...just dont drive a toyota truck or a civic LOL
I'm curious as to how many people other than LEO carry a rifle with them outside of their home. I don't and nobody I know does. Perhaps if I lived somewhere different I would.
My carbine is set up well for close range shooting, though it's certainly usable further out. I shoot local "CQB" matches with it, with targets from 1 to 20 yards. I'm certainly a better shooter with it than I am with a pistol (or shotgun, for that matter), and it's less likely to exit an exterior wall than 9mm JHP or 00 buckshot.HD is close, a rifle is for distance. Here in FL, you will go to jail if you participate in long distance "HD" using a rifle
No need for insults, please.Some folks are way too paranoid about life in general
