The overwhelming vast majority of folks are not able to afford multiple single purpose firearms for self-defense. They may own a handgun or a shotgun, maybe just a rifle. To afford large quantities of ammunition required for live fire practice is not likely within the budget of these folks. Happily most attackers are not going to be wearing body armor. Happily most any decent hit to the head of torso is going to stand a very good chance of incapacitating if not completely ending the threat. The necessity for such firearms and training is greatly mitigated by basic steps such as fencing, exterior lights, quality security locks on doors/windows, alarm systems, etc. It is always best to keep a problem outside the dwelling than to plan tactics to support a "repel all boarders" strategy. What then is the takeaway? If one is a prepper... well... your going to plan for a EOTWAWKI event. If you are a citizen with nominally routine home security concerns, you will plan a layer of tactics to keep intruders/attackers outside rather than inside the dwelling. For my part, doors and windows are very well secured. Exterior cameras, motion sensors for lights are next. Firearms? Have a 9mm, .380, couple of .357's and a trio of fearsome attack cats within a six foot radius at night. During the day at work ... a .380 is in my pocket. Sincerely. bruce.
