Okay boys, learn me a home self-defense weapon. I always thought I would pick one up and train for when I had a kid, but a couple of nightmares later of being helpless against intruders with my wife in the house has left me with cold sweats. I am not very educated on firearms but the couple times I have gone shooting I was comfortable
My wife is rightly so nervous about weapons in the house but is trained. Her father was in the army and trained her early on. She has her concealed carry license and in the one competition at work with over 100 people, placed first. I say that to explain she isn't nervous about firing one, but she is incredibly nervous about having it in the house/misuse/being stolen etc so quick-reach safes and safeties are important to get advice on here as well.
1. Penetration with neighbors, we have a firewall and very little shared walls, but I don't want something going through walls too deeply.
2. This is for self-defense only. If someone were to enter the house, I would be posting up in our bedroom. I am NOT "going around the house". The whole point is to keep my family safe, not to go prove myself. Things can be replaced.
3. Availability - I want to be able to go the range, maybe some self-defense training. So it being reliable and not having incredibly expensive ammunition is a plus as I don't plan on the first time shooting it being the time I need it.
Anything else?
