I deal with enough automation at work, I certainly don't need it at home.

I have a stupid home as well and I am just fine with that.

I always have both options with me and I try to train for multiple situations. I also keep in mind that lateral movement is my friend.

Altamont has a lot of options. I don't have a 1911 but the ones I got for my jframe are quality grips.

Our heeler is fine if you come through the house with one of us. According to the meter reader and the guy that was trying to break into my neighbors house he's not too friendly. The meter reader thought better of jumping the fence upon meeting him and the other guy got a new set of bracelets...

I prefer Federal or Fiocchi but I will use Winchester and Speer if I catch a sale. Speer is a little nasty but I have never had issue with it other than that. I have had two rounds fail to fire from my XDS since I bought it when they first released. Both were Remington green and white. Both had...

You may want to look into a good breed of guard dog as well. Our heeler will begin barking as soon as you break the property line. He will continue to bark until you get past the home. His bark will change as the level of threat changes, he is way more alert than I am, and certainly more...

I don't have to worry about the congregate in one room part. If anything goes bump in the night the population of my room goes up quickly.

I think, as with most things, there are advantages and disadvantages to each type of home. The best plan is probably to have a plan. Figure out what advantages you have and how to maximize them.

I had a good I'm in the same boat. Ten years ago I wouldn't even have considered it but this is not that world. It's certainly far from the world I grew up in, unlocked doors, children outside for hours with no supervision, and not having to even consider what if they don't come home from...

I see the point of non-lethal options because I have no interest in taking a life but if it's you vs my family I will choose my family every time. Especially as if I am ever in the situation to choose one life from another it will be because the "you" put me there not the other way around.

I've considered carrying one but I can't find an accessable place to bring it along. With flashlight, knife, gun, and other things in tow I have run out of pockets/ belt space save looking like Batman. The balancing act mentioned by others above kind of pushed it out of the picture for me.

Ditto for me.

I generally carry a knife, flashlight, sidearm, spare mag, essential ID, and some forms of payment on my body. I have a small IFAK, backup flashlight, spare mag, extra clothing, blankets, food, and water in my vehicle. I have considered a second firearm in the vehicle but have not committed to...

Well that pretty well sums it up. Sometimes the simple answer is the best.

I'm hanging with the truck. Shelter, food, water, enough blankets/coats to stay warm, and plenty of ways to defend myself. Your chances of being found and helped are higher with the vehicle. If I were alone I might strike out come daylight depending on how back the back road is. Lots of...

I have seen them but hadn't ever spoken to anyone who owned one. Thanks for the range report!

I carry a wallet with a lot of nothing in it. All the good stuff is on the back of my phone or in a pocket of it's own (cash). I will gladly give you the wallet full of fake credit cards and business cards if you hold me up. Well how about that, I did learn something in Memphis.

I do have some but not as my go to round. I watched an active self protection video last year I think where a leo rolled up on a stabbing. He shot the guy from about 5yards three times center mass. The fella stopped looked up at the officer and then went right back to stabbing like nothing...

Ruger 22/45 with Williams fire sights. Many a raccoon meet it's demise and I didn't have to drag a rifle through the woods.
