I keep a 12 ga 20" double barrel stagecoach rabbit ear in the bedroom, a 12 ga Win. Mod 97 in the living room, a 12 ga Win Mod 12 in the den, and a 12 ga Rogers double barrel hanging in the hall. All with 00, all but one out of sight. But my best home defense is my ugly dog Buster, my mentally challenged hound dog Axel, and a very intelligent German Shepard stray mix named Girl Dog (she's a girl). I fenced in about four acres surrounding the house, they don't let anyone who doesn't belong around. Buster looks like a cut down bear, Axel is so dumb he isn't afraid of anything, and Girl Dog is just flat out intimidating when she gets fired up. Two pumps, two double barrels, all 12 ga, and three dogs. We sleep well.
