6. I'll add a shotgun caveat...


This is what I'd recommend: a pump-action shotgun. It's available in 12,16,20, or .410 gauge. For home defense, I would recommend at least a 20 gauge as .410 is weak and 16 gauge is expensive ammunition.

Home defense rifle? If you're in an urban area and can afford it, an AR-15 loaded with 5.56 NATO (.223 Remington) Magsafe ammunition. Rural, I'd recommend something a bit heavier, such as a .308 or 30/06, likely a Springfield, if one can afford it.
I live in the city and this is my home defense:


I bought it for less than $200.
