Default Is a rifle the "right choice" for HD?
Komo News - Homowner shoots/kills intruder near Brown's Point (Washington St.)...

This would seem like a normal HD/SD scenario, save for the article mentioning that the homeowner used a "high powered rifle" and killed the intruder with only one shot... and, the bullet ended up in an SUV "across the street." Thankfully, no one else injured other than the intruder.

I'm gathering the message the MSM wants to send is that a "high powered rifle" is excessive for HD.

Discuss....

If it's your only option then, no. But, I prefer a good old 12g or a handgun. Then again, I live in a condo with neighbors all around. I would hate a rifle round penetrating thier home and possibly injuring an innocent bystander .

You are responsible for collateral damage.

I think a MOAB would be appropriate self defense to Pig. I could be wrong.

These look rather interesting... but, because they're a little short on "length," means they're also a little short on "capacity" as well. My Mossberg 930 "JM Pro" (24" overall length) has a 9+1 capacity and is a "semi-auto." I think this is only a 4+1, right (same as the 930 "home security" model).
