guns for self defense
It's clear to me that the knowledge about guns here is vast. I have a question to pose, if you had to pick 3 guns for the "panic room" of the house 1 handgun, 1 rifle, 1 shotgun for both the wife and the husband what would they be? Keep in mind that there use would be in close quarters and could involve many assailants.

I already have a Glock 21 45cal. I have had it for years and it's kind of like that old pair of sneakers that you wore and wore so many times, but they still feel so comfortable you don't want new ones. My wife has a (cheap&hammerless)taurus 38 just about as used as my glock.
The only other guns we have are, a Harrington & Richardson single shot shotgun that I only keep because it was the first gun my dad bought me. And the other was my dad's sidearm in WWII it's a 25cal (don't laugh) he was in the rear with the gear. It says on it: automatic pistol"UNION I" cal 6.35, in the grip he has a picture of him and his mother and on the other side is a picture of my mother is her british uniform. All in a brown leather holster and to me it is priceless.
I use to hunt about 16yrs ago with a 30.06 that I gave to 1 of my brothers.
Where we live bears and coyotees are not are problem, our county is slowly becoming part of that larger metropolis known as the northeast corridor running between boston and DC. Still alot of open space left but it's shrinking. The only thing to worry about here is the human filth that prey and I want to be able to do more than pray if they get into our house. I am seriously considering a good shotgun, and the high output rifle is kinda something I always wanted.

Found two guns a would like to buy on the Wilson Combat site. #1 Remington 12ga 1187 magnum with a 14" barrel (swat model) #2 UT-15 urban tactical rifle. However they only deliver to a FFL holders. How do you get one of those? And is it necessary to get an FFL to buy them in a gun shop? I always thought that you just needed one if you had a fully automatic.

I agree with you about the dog. We do have a great shetland sheep dog that I took alot of time training. I amaze the nieghbors with her. She knows whistle and hand commands and really likes to perform. And as far as a watchdog I can't imagine a better dog. I also agree that I'd rather have a decent arsenal and never need it, than the other way around.
When I bought my 45 and my wife's 38 I wanted the Mossberg with pistol grip but the store owner said I'll have to order it and it was taking so long I cancelled it. I was pretty young at the time and I think the store owner was being careful by not letting me walk out with all 3 guns. Sorry to hear that yours is now illegal it makes nosense.
I no longer hunt so I only want them if the boogie man comes. And I would never kill someone over a TV set or something silly like that(everything is insured), but if they take one step towards my wife or kids it will be there last.

AC5ZO, thanks for the tip I didn't know about the 18" barrel I'll keep looking.
tracer, I believe you have the right to kill to protect your property and I would never suggest otherwise, but my personal choice would be not to do so. I'm willing to let the police handle running down the thieves. I'd probably have them motionless on the floor for the cops when they get there. And I mean motionless or else.

I think Vang Comp's 870 express with light,sling and side saddle might be the one for me. But I'm still looking.
