Is a rifle the "right choice" for HD?

55 grain soft point prairie dog bullets. The original "frangibles."

However, I prefer a pistol caliber carbine loaded with hollow points because it's not as loud. I've lost enough hearing already.

Something people don't think of. now I know there may be no time for such things but I have hearing protection in my gun spot so if there is a break in I can grab gun, light, and the hearing protection for Kaden. I don't want Lisa to have her ears covered because if I have to yell something I need her to hear me. But we have our drill down and know what to if need be.

Planning people, plan and practice its critical.

My closest neighbor is 650 feet away. To get to the house you 're going to have to go through 2 electric fences or pry open the closed automatic gate. If you show up at the house uninvited with ill intent, you will get to meet my Mossberg 500 with a surefire X300 on it. Once good and blind I will load you up with some 00, 8 of'em if necessary. There's a 16 gallon shopvac and 2 gallons of bleach in the garage. I have done dry wall, and I'm sure I'll do it again sometime.

That's why suppressors should be easier to attain without jumping through hoops.
