A friend of mine asked me what gun I use for home defense and I told him that it depended on the room I'm in or the time of day. During the day I have a Glock 48 on my hip. At night there's a G43 on my nightstand and there's one in each bathroom. Not a shotgun in the house.
I've got a Glock 26 I keep handy in my bedroom. I also have a 30/30 model 94, Smith and Wesson 44 magnum, 12 gauge semi, and a 22 rifle that uses 22 shorts. Other than the Glock, the other ones are not practical for close quarter self defense. I keep hoping to hit the lottery, in which case i would own something one could only call an armory. Lol
I bought a whole bunch of 80% frame kits and saved them. Every now and then I will pull one out, finish it, then buy the parts to complete the gun. I have a pistol caliber carbine too (which is great for clearing a room - yes I practice in my house) but nothing really ling-range.
I wish I had the time and the money to build my own guns. That would be very cool. One thing I do plan on doing someday is getting all the equipment I need to reload my casings. Ammo is so damn expensive these days. And in these crazy times, the purchase of ammo could very well be outlawed. Lord knows the left is fighting desperately to disarm us all, while at the same time letting criminals out of prison. Look what they've done in Calif. Crimes that were felonies are now misdemeanors, so the cops aren't even bothering arresting the scum that's taking advantage of the situation. Calif. is a good example of what the left wants to do to the whole country.
