[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Fugitive on the loose…what would you use for home defense? (Page 1 of 4)

Local felon on the run in my area. Sherriff has perimeters set up, and ghetto bird circling. Long creek nearby that's dry and lots of pasture, so it's easier for this guy to evade.

Pistol, rifle, or shotgun at the ready should the dumbass try to crash your property?

Depends on a LOT of factors (physical layout, number and location of other family members/occupants, etc).

Stay safe.

And remember: as always, superior tactics are to weapons as ten is to one.

An SBR and I’ll likely be watching the security cameras instead of streaming a 50-75 year old horror movie that night.

Frags and a framing hammer. You don't want to give away your position.

Same thing I'd have ready any other night.

300 BLK SBR, suppressed, with 110 Black Tips ready and waiting, including one in the chamber.

Which is exactly what I have now ten feet from me.

Only back of property is fenced, haven't done front yet. Lights and cameras, home is alarmed.

I would choose a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended.

Image the following scenario... Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" I yell as I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. I blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. I draw my pistol on the second man, but miss him entirely because it's smoothbore, and nail the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" I exclaim, as the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel setting off car alarms in a 5 block radius. I fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up.

Just as the founding fathers intended.

Going with something I know. Got a KSG the other day but not comfy with that manual of arms yet.

If we’re assuming he might be close to my property, it goes like this.

Put on steel plate vest

9mm on the hip.

300 BLK SBR Suppressed with TAP subsonics. SBR and pistol have lights, but have no intention of using them.

Go to my hidden position, flip on the flood lights and wait for the best real action shoot ‘em up ever to begin.

Wilson County, was here earlier but went away I guess. I still see a perimeter set up half mile from my place, so perp is still on the loose I guess. Wish I had a scanner.

Suburbs? Rural?

That's pretty close. He may be looking for a place to break into, and if you are rural, that limits his possibilities, to possibly "just you."

I would probably be doing one each long gun and sidearm, and have all family members/occupants briefed & ready with the plan of action.

Rural, and big pasture behind me where dude is probably hiding somewhere. Family is briefed.

Nice living in the sticks except when it's not. Still better than living in a city, tho.

The one thing the OP has still not told us is if there are other family members in the home.

In that case, no, you don't be "out there" doing anything. You be hunkered down INSIDE, defending family.

ETA: Okay, I see he just told us.
