re: What is your night stand, home defense gun?

Something to keep in mind is that you need to be aware what could be beyond you and a possible intruder. In my situation, the kid rooms are on the opposite side of the house from my room. So if I need to engage an intruder it would probably mean that I have exited my room with a loaded weapon and will be firing in the direction of my kids rooms. Obviously I don't want rounds that have a higher likelihood of penetrating through an interior wall and ending up in their room(s).
It's scary that people actually believe this. For your kids' sake, I hope that no one ever breaks into your home.

This sits in the corner of my bedroom.

I live alone and generally sleep with my door closed and locked. If I hear a disturbance down stairs, I slowly open my door and rack my 870. If I don't hear someone leave after that....game on.

Remington tactical shot gun
Posted on 12/8/14 at 12:50 pm to Dick Leverage
Beretta 92fs holstered on the bed rail and a 3 foot sword in between the night stand and bed.
If they stick around after 15 rounds of 9mm and a half naked man with a sword, they can have my shite.

What's the obsession with racking a shotgun?
Here's the problem with it.
1. The intruder is not scared to start with, possibly on drugs
2. You just have just told the intruder that:
A. You're home
B. You have a gun, specifically a pump shotgun
C. Your location in the house
D. It's going to be a fight if you run into each other
3. You have less ammo carrying capacity, because you have to start with an empty chamber or If it's not empty you just unloaded one round

All of this. I dont get it either.

There's validity to all those points. And if you have other means of first response like an alarm system or dog that the crook is choosing to ignore, then sure, it's go time, might as well have all the rounds possible available, as well as the element of surprise and location.
If it was a silent house, with no alarm blaring or dog barking and a crook hears the pump, yeah, he gone. But, nowadays there's probably some of those other things in the mix. So I'll concede my arguement there.
As for the Judge as a choice, I don't see the point. It's still a really inaccurate .410 shotgun at best. A 12 guage tactical has more lead in the air, more stopping power, and more rounds. Sure, it's cool to have a pistol that shoots 410 shells, but it's still a 410 as compared to a 12. What am I missing?

Sheetrock isn't going to fragment any 5.56 bullet that I know of.
Sheetrock is a laughable barrier at best for any appreciable self defense load. There is no load out there which is simultaneously good at putting down people and bad at penetrating Sheetrock.
A 5.56 will penetrate it's fricking arse off though. That's in the category of worst choices you can make if you want Sheetrock to stop your shite.

Now that we got the rack vs no rack argument out of the way, what are yalls thoughts on the use of lights?
I see both sides of the argument. If it comes down to me about to pull the trigger I want to make damn sure of the target, but at the same time, walking around your own house with a light on is a terrible tactical mistake. I think the best option is to have the light and only turn it on once you've encountered whoever is in your house.

1911 with a tlr4 chambered in .45
Now, I'm not great with shotguns, but I'm pretty damned good with my AR. I wouldn't have issue running Hornady TAP 55 gr as home defense round.
I'm confident I'd get the bad guy with the rifle, not so much with a shotgun.
Flame away.

I think you should have one, turn it on once you find mr bad guy.
You get a look at him, he gets blinded. Win/win

Defend yourself anyway you like. It is your right. I personally have about a dozen guns in my home.
BUT BE DAMNED CAREFUL WHO YOU SHOOT AT!
"Following a four-day trial on September 12-15, 1994, the trial judge rendered judgment in favor of Yoshi's parents, Masaichi and Mieko Hattori (the Hattoris) finding Rodney Peairs to be solidarily liable with his homeowner's insurer, Louisiana Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company (Farm Bureau), in the amount of $653,077.85 together with legal interest and costs. Farm Bureau's liability was subject to the $100,000.00 coverage limitations of its policy."
