Not to long ago, a gentleman in L Town dispatched another gentleman with a whole barrage of AR15 rounds in his house. Guess how many he missed with? Guess how many went into the neighbors house? Not saying they are the best for home defense but they will work, and work well. Last time I checked, most entry teams use AR15's and not shotguns. Plus my wife can handle the AR15 a lot better than the 12 gauge. They sell plenty of low penetration ammo for them also. Realistically the odds of you being home when some one burglarizes your house are very slim though unless you are sling in. Personally I am going to buy the old lady a Circuit Judge I think. Revolver and .410, the best of both worlds. Am I right fellas!

I keep some mags in an ammo box with loose rounds that i can get to in a pinch if need be, but I keep a 12ga with #3 buckshot handy, a .40 S&W bedside, and a 9mm stashed elsewhere. If something arises that I need one of my AR's to 'defend' myself, I'll know of it well ahead of time.

To the OP, any soft point or maybe Varmint round would be your best bet if you are worried about penetration. What I find funny also is the fact that most people think LE rounds are hotter or more lethal than standard rounds. Actually its the opposite. LE shotgun= low recoil, LE 223=usually soft points. Now the handgun stuff is a little better though usually.Whos your Daddy?

As the title says. What is your nightstand gun? What do you grab for first for a sound out front? Is it chambered and ready? Loaded? Locked? Mine has always been my xd40 with a 180lumen light/strobe, but I just recently bought a new 870 tactical express that I'm thinking is going to take it's place just waiting on the mag
I also have a 1919a4 at a choke point inside of my house along will some passive/semi active defensive measures.

While doing a search on here to see recommendations for home defense ammo for the AR I stumbled across this and see a lot of people against using an AR for protection at home.
In light of everything that has happened since this post was last update three years ago, I'm curious if anyone has changed their opinion about keeping a loaded AR handy at home. The Sutherland Springs Church shooting as an example coming to mind.
My goto weapon would be a handgun as I always have one either on me or nearby when I'm at home. But I'm thinking more and more that the AR would be second in line and it wouldn't hurt to keep a couple of magazines of ammo loaded.
So thoughts/suggestions on an ammo choice?
