AK47 and AR15 Vs Burglars: Rifles Used for Home Defense

 Last week a homeowner in Huston, Texas, used an AK47 to fight off 5 armed home invaders, killing 3 and wounding the other two in the process.

An Oklahoma man killed 3 home invaders a couple years ago with his AR. There’s been several other incidents where AR15 have been used as well.

 These incidents where ARs, AKs or other rifles are used just go to show how superior firepower can be a serious force multiplier in these events. It is still a big mistake to overlook a survivalists main weapon, his handgun. People that do so will find themselves without a handgun OR an rifle when they need it the most.

 That doesn’t change the fact that, whenever possible, more bullets and/or more powder pushing them is preferable. You can get to a rifle? By all means use it. Same for body armor.

An auto shotgun would also be a great choice so as to fill up a hallway with lead when several intruders break in. An auto shotgun loaded up with buckshot, putting down nine balls of lead at a time with each trigger pull would be both devastating at close range and safer than raining .30 caliber love all over the neighbourhood. Either way, rifle or shotgun, using the best firepower at your disposal makes a lot of sense.
