I live in a pretty nice area. However, it is not in a gated section. About 2 or 3 times a year we hear of a home invasion where the family is at home and the perps gain entrance while a person or the entire family is in the dwelling. That shite, however rare it may be, can and does happen and I want to do everything I can to defend myself because although I would be extremely hesitant to engage on the street, you come into my home, you will probably leave in a body bag.

I also seem to have become the owner of a rescue Pit that my son got in high school but he is now in college. I can't stand the breed but this dog has grown on me and seems to be a good people deterrent as I am not sure I have had my water meter read since I got him.

Where I live is out in the county. Very nice neighborhood.

The problem is that it takes the Sheriff's department around 30 min to get there.

I actually have several ARs ready.
300blk with light
5.56
several pistols as well.

That's my logic too. I didn't buy any of my firearms specifically for home defense. Mostly they're for fun. But how bad would it suck to be broken into in the middle of the night with a bunch of guns in the house and none of them nearby and ready to go?
