Why not? Shotguns with no shoulder stock really need lasers. Put a laser on it.

My current “nightstand” gun is my Emissary 45 with a light on the rail, that being said since I’m still sleeping in my recliner my nightstand is my living room end table which has my Mod2 subcompact 40 on it.Good read on the best nightstand gun, there pick is the 1911, which is a great pick, but for me I rather have a revolver, but that’s just me.
The Ultimate Nightstand Gun?
A nightstand gun is premised on the idea you don’t have children. I do now, so I have to err a bit more on the side of caution. But as a single dude living in some perhaps sketchy areas, I was a huge advocate of the nightstand blaster. And for that particular role, the 1911 packs some clear...www.gunsamerica.com

I believe that in Illinois.The law states that if your home is broken into.It is your obligation to run from your home as fast as possible.Any attempt to confront intruders will be looked upon as a class 5 felony.The way Illinois is , I don't know if it is even legal for me to just look at that.

That is incorrect.

Allegations of violence are serious and can result in criminal charges against Illinois residents. Too often, innocent men and women are subjected to wrongful charges based on bad information and poor police work. These problematic arrests can result when assaults are alleged and individuals...

IMHO the factor of noise is not considered nearly enough by home defenders. About the last thing you want to do is turn off one of your primary senses in a critical situation.
A suppressed gun would seem the obvious solution, but it brings its own problems to be dealt with. Better still might be a good set of electronic hearing protectors. I bought my first set in the late '80s, but for a number of reasons am looking to replace them with something better. The options are head-spinning these days. Does anyone have a good recommendation for something in the $100-$150 range?

My son's Tac team all have suppressors on the team's rifles to reduce the prospect of hearing damage should they get into a gun battle inside of a building. They did this to decrease the chance of mulitple workman comp claims that might result from severe hearing loss. Oh, and don't forget the blinding muzzle flash, and yes, suppressors do reduce that as well.

The item about the felony charge was in jest,but having lived in the Chicago area for many years.Illinois and Chicago in particular have a bad track record when it comes to homeowners defending their home & property. At this time, I would use the present cook county state's attorney as an example.Ive seen over the years many cases of "OH" I was trying to enter the wrong house by mistake,and I was for no reason attacked.That is incorrect.

Bear in mind, most states’ self defense laws have the qualifications of being in immediate threat of death or severe bodily harm…which means, with a few exceptions, the person you decide to light up has to be armed, whether they are in your home or not.
Castle doctrine doesn’t mean your domicile is a free-fire zone.

My wife has claimed my Rock-Ola as her “closet gun”; loaded with Remington’s SP rounds, you do NOT want to be on her muzzle end.

Not true. If it were there would be no need for Castle. An armed person is a threat anywhere. Castle absolutely means someone who broke into your home is assumed to be a threat. That’s the whole point.

This thread reminds me of this joke:
Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended.
Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
