OK, I know everyone has their own opinion on “Home Defense” weapons. Well, that includes me.
Now, you know I don’t mind voicing my opinion and I’m a little “long-winded”, but I ask that you bare with me. My opinion is “Go with what you know.”
If you only practice with a pistol; use that pistol for home defense. If you carry a rifle for a living, then it only makes sense for you to use the same type weapon for home defense. Now you notice that I’ve mentioned a pistol and a rifle. I haven’t said shit about a shotgun. That surprises many of you, because “everyone” on the internet/TV/movies push using a shotgun for home defense.
-It doesn’t go through walls like a pistol
-The “Racking Sound” will scare the intruder away.
-You don’t have to aim
-Better in low light
-The Pump Shotgun will never jam
-Weapon of choice for Zombies
Well, call me crazy, but to me, for Home Defense, I want:
-Accuracy, so I don’t hit friendlies
-Stopping power
-Something that I have “Muscle-memory” with, for ease of use in hasty situations
Shotguns are for breaching doors and shooting birds.
I don’t want to argue here… just watch the video. You’ll see I prefer a Rifle for Home Defense.
You'll notice I mention, for those that suck with a pistol, to also have a spray can of Mace... I got that little trick from a old SF Guy (Thanks Fortin). I can't take credit for that one.
I’m not going to bring just a pistol to a gunfight; I’m going to bring a rifle. Now, before you comment why I carry a pistol EDC; I carry a pistol every day because I am NOT planning on getting into a gunfight. I carry the pistol just in case.
Now, when that home alarm goes off; you can bet I’m coming prepared. I’ll be praying it was nothing. I’ll be praying they wont be stupid… but if they come to hurt my family, rest assured I will exercise my right to spend then next two weeks cleaning up bio-hazard from all over my walls.
A good AR, with a white light and good optic… along with a quality way to secure it safely; that’s all you need. Enough said.
Again, just my opinion. Let the comments and bashing begin.
Thanks for watching. Strength & Honor, TR.

Very few hallways are 18 m long. I'm not going to give a lot of details, but most shootings in a home will happen within a few feet. For most situations, a shotgun will do nicely at those distances because if you do hit with it it will put the perp down. I wholly endorse having a couple means of defense. Including pepper spray.

Pro-tip: Most home invasions happen in low light, and you're going to be defending yourself indoors with little advanced notice. If you thought an AR15 carbine with the shorter barrels were loud outside, wait until you hear one in a bedroom hallway reflecting that noise right back at your ears, and blinding you with the flash so now you can't even see anything in front of you except the blue washed out flash obscuring anything else. Instead, I'd get yourself a glock 34 suppressed with laser light and 33rnd mag. Its small so will fit in a mini-safe, you can hold it with one hand while opening doors, you have a light and laser which work great for quick shots, and you're not likely to be wearing ear protection so you won't be completely deaf, and whoever tells you that 33 rounds of 9mm isn't enough to deal with just about any horror movie threat you can think of is full of poop, and you're not going to have any issues hitting a target with a pistol at home defense distances so don't worry about the need to shoulder a weapon.

You make some good points, but I want to mention a few things- Some of us live alone, so we don't have to worry about them taking hostages. An 18 meter hallway is more than a lot of us have to cover. In my place, there isn't a straight line over 10 yards. Buckshot is the way to go for shotgun home defense. Many buckshot loads keep a very tight group out to 10-15 yards. I'm talking 3-4 inch groups. I found this to be the case with 3 different loads, while patterning my Mossberg 500. I'm not arguing against the effectiveness of an AR or AK for home defense. I think they're awesome. I'm just saying that the arguments and data you presented aren't completely applicable or accurate for a lot of people's situations. You can't argue against the ability of a 12 gauge loaded with 00 or #4 buckshot to stop a threat. In the end, the best gun is the one you have, and are proficient with.

Yea i kinda expected him to make a lazy strawman case against the shotgun with a name like Tactical Rifleman. Ofc he's going to purposely exaggerate its intimidation factor and the size of its spread and present an insane and unrealistic scenario like the crazy hostage situation. he's oversimplifying and failing to engage with the evidence that other KZbinrs (paul harrell, iraqveteran8888) present on the benefits of using a shotgun; for example #4 buckshot is a clear winner against any other defensive round for overpenetration, and maximum rate of fire is largely irrelevant because aiming each gun to make followup shots at a moving target takes time etc. the shotgun is not going to be easy to master and yea, but a handgun is even harder to shoot accurately under pressure. so many real life examples have proven that a guy esp on drugs is not always gonna go down when hit with handgun or intermediate rifle rounds even if you "keep hittin him" I don't care who you are you are not moving after you get hit with 1 round of #4 buck. capacity is also less of an issue than most may think because defensive shootings rarely require more than 5 rounds and the slow reloads can be overcome with practice. as someone who practices a lot of weak hand tactical quadloading, replenishing an 8 shot tube from an ez 8 shotshell carrier doesn't take much longer than swapping mags. i will readily concede that the shotgun is not the best platform for the diverse environments a soldier may encounter in the battlefield a rifle is superior but combat shotguns are a platform that have proven their worth time and time again in close range engagements. i feel like stories of soldiers overseas fighting with beneli m4 combat shotguns with great success should shut people up but I guess not. its not just a breaching tool lol. i feel like actual operators are so divided on this topic but there are people who love and hate them. at the end of the day when your defending your home youre probably shooting from a defensive position where the intruder or intruders will be incapacitated or retreat after a few shots. you are not not providing supressive fire while your team rushes a position and you need tons of ammo to unload at them. if your getting into a firefight like that in ur house you have bigger problems. shotguns are a platform that work well for home defense if you train like just any other platform. telling people they suck and to use a handgun instead is just pointless and disingenuous. rifles are a good choice but again as demonstrated by paul, they are more far likely to go through EXTERIOR walls than buckshot. the man is entitled to his opinion, and other experts online with combat experience will disagree or agree with him based on their own personal preferences. I'm not saying handguns or rifles don't work, but I have a handgun and a shotgun, and if i hear a bump in the middle of the night im grabbing the dam shotgun but, I've been shooting combat shotguns for a long time so i can run one better than the average person. a pistol caliber carbine is probably the best choice for the inexperienced gun owner who wants to just have a gun in the closet for home defense but handguns are just as difficult to master and less effective than a shotgun and ars cause more collateral if you aren't aware of where you are shooting.

I'm from Croatia and guns are extremely rare here, i never shot a gun before so i'm a 100% internet ninja. But i would definitely prefer Karl's advice if i was to own a gun. He is ex-military and has more experience than regular folks who only shoot in their backyard. All of his points make complete sense from every standpoint and there are no minuses with AR's. With shotguns you get a lot of minuses. While it's more powerful it's also very risky towards other members of the house, it holds less rounds, it does more damage to the house, heavier recoil, slower reload etc.. And since i've never shot a gun before i'm not sure if shotguns are louder or not, but if they are louder that would be another minus for me, since obviously you wouldn't wear hearing protection in case of a robbery and you're shooting indoors. His scenario of a hostage situation was just a random possibility to give an example. Even if it's unlikely, it's better to be well prepared for any scenario. And besides, it doesn't have to be a hostage situation, it could be any situation that involves innocent people being close to the bad guy. Maybe one of your house members would be fighting and wrestling with the burglar so you wouldn't have a clear shot. Or maybe one of your house members would accidentally stumble upon the burglar in the dark because they heard a noise, and you're standing there holding a shotgun yelling at them to move away, but the burglar pulls a gun and shoots you first while you're waiting for a clear shot. Or maybe your dog jumps on the burglar and you wouldn't use a shotgun. I mean these are just random possible scenarios where an AR would give you more advantage.. And just because they're burglars doesn't always mean they are some crackhead junkies with a knife. Maybe they mean serious business, and maybe they come with assault rifles and body armor, and then you would be at disadvantage with the shotgun. I mean it's America, if you can have guns and armor, they can have it too. As i said i'm not a gun expert but i believe armor can stop shotgun rounds. And in this day of age with internet and videogames it's really not that difficult to have a common sense for simple basic tactics and taking cover. If they take cover and have a 30 round magazine, you will be at a great disadvantage with only few shotgun rounds because it would be a long firefight like in Steven Seagal's movies hahah.. And there could be multiple enemies, let's say you shoot a few shotgun rounds at a single target, 1 shot goes to the cover, you miss the 2nd, you hit him on the 3rd, and you have to switch to other targets but you're already on half a magazine.. And even if you're alone, meanwhile you're blasting away your whole house.. Few AR rounds in a drywall is much easier to fix than fcking crater holes.. And lastly, this is just me and my personality, but i'm a soft guy and i wouldn't want to kill anyone, taking someone's life by blasting them with a shotgun would give me lifetime nightmares.. I would rather use an AR just to down them and maybe they would survive, dying would be a 2nd option. My goal would be primarily to stop the enemy, not necessarily destroy them. But if they die, at least it wouldn't look so brutal and painful like a shotgun. I mean, what if they're some young stupid schmucks who just entered puberty and got drunk during holidays, or what if it's a homeless hungry old man robbing food out of desperation, or what if it's a junkie who owes money to a drug dealer and his family is threatened so now he needs to rob houses to get money to save his kids.. Again random possible scenarios, but as i said i'm a soft guy and maybe i would forgive them in such cases. I wouldn't have a heart to blast anyone with a shotgun without knowing their story first, it would require extreme hatred and anger to cause that much damage to someone with a shotgun. Enemy or not, it's just too brutal for me. And if i would use a shotgun and the burglars turned out to be just some young stupid idiots, i would have a huge regret for the rest of my life. Even killing someone in a necessity should be done in a more humane way, shotguns are too frightening. But i don't know, maybe it's a different mentality over there in USA..

It think the fact you used birdshot is a bit misleading, its going to spread way more than buckshot so the "it will just piss them off at 18 meters" thing is a bit misleading because with buckshot it would seriously mess them up, and also its extremely unlikely you would be in a situation were a burglar has your wife in a headlock, when would that actually happen? Rifles and handguns are great, but so are shotguns. You could still miss with a rifle/pistol especially under stress/adrenaline/shooting a moving target. Shotguns are very effective at stopping an attacker/ending an attackers life. I don't think its good to just write them off as bad home defence guns because you have a preference for rifles/pistols. I've seen several hundred videos of people being shot and pistols often take anywhere from 5-20 rounds to drop someone. Rifles 1-7. Shotguns 1-2. Obviously there are variables like distance/individual user/attacker is stationary or moving/shot placement, but yeah, shotguns are very effective and yes the downside is multiple projectiles when it comes to innocent people being very close to the attacker but you may miss with a rifle/pistol and if you live alone or you live with someone who you've planned what to do in an attack with this should nullify the issue of a stray pellet(s) hitting them, but a sidearm or mace could be a good option for just such occasions. So to conclude shotguns can be very effective defensive firearms, as can most guns, but they do have downsides which need to be taken into consideration when considering buying/using one for home defence.

Completely agree. I like Karl but he gets a bit carried away sometimes. I have ARs, 12 gauges (Hornady CriticalDefense 00 8-shot), and Sig P320s strategically emplaced around the house. Each has its specific, well-thought through and rehearsed purpose. My preference is the AR because, like Karl, I have significant CMF18 experience with the AR platform; but considerable experience with shotties. We’re trained to do 5-6 round zipper drills in dudes up close with the M4. I’ve never been taught zipper drills with the 12 gauge. It’s ridiculous to automatically assume a person will go down with one round of anything, but 20 years of war has taught us that you should prep for a mag dump with anyone you engage with an M4 and be happy it only takes 3-4 rounds. There are rumored anecdotal cases of dudes taking 00 buck to the chest at close range and remaining belligerent; however, I’ve never been able to verify one of them. When a 12 gauge fills a specific role, and is loaded and employed with that same level of seriousness, there is no more effective tool than one can get.

@@SignalJones again, I completely agree, I’m a true believer in the “Gospel of the Gauge”. I did a multi-day journey down the YT rabbit hole looking for footage of shotgun engagements - specifically folks taking thoracic shots and continuing the fight. There is nothing there. From multiple tours downrange, I’ve seen what the human body can take, as well as what shuts it off immediately. I’m extremely impressed on the sheer will of some people to continue the fight no matter how bad they have been wounded. That said, the level of overwhelming damage one round of well place 00 does to the body is the exception to the rule. That’s why when I reviewed Karl’s video here (I’ve seen it several times before), I had to chuckle. I have ARs in 556, 9mm, .300 and .308 and have no problem grabbing either if someone kicks in my door. But if it were three bad guys who were stopped with “only” three rounds fired, the only practical weapon capable of pulling that off is a 12 gauge with high quality, well placed 00 buckshot.

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.

One bullet, one path. A shotgun has frags that spread to innumerable directions. A hand gun is for defensive measures, an AR is meant to be both defensive and offensive. The AR can be both for short distance engagement and something you can use over long distances.

@davidhoffman6980 Жыл бұрын
"A shotgun has frags that spread in innumerable directions" I'm sorry but that is simply not true. Buckshot tends to spread about an inch per yard, so at 9 yards you'll typically get a 9 inch spread. I don't know as well how much bird shot spreads, but I've shot it and can tell you it goes in one direction. If you were referring to ricochet off of hard surfaces, then that is not exclusive to shotguns. I've had ricochets off of rock and shale with .357 and .44 magnum, and with .22lr. There is extensive footage on KZbin of slow mo views of various rounds fragmenting on impact with steel targets.

The things that go through drywall, “ everything goes through drywall. Bullets, elbows, fists, kids heads in high school”. Lol.

I got all of the above. For home defense, I’ll use whatever I get to the quickest. Birdshot is an idiot move. 00 Buck or a 1 Ounce Slug. Bad guy gets hit with either of the two, he’s probably not getting back up. An AR is ideal due to much lower recoil. If neither are close enough, well the pistol is. Whatever I have closest to hand is what will be used to defend my home and my family.
@ihcterra4625
@ihcterra4625 2 жыл бұрын
Depends on the birdshot. If you are talking target loads, then yes, it is short range and minimally effective. But there is an extremely wide range of bird shot and some will blow the lungs out of an attacker at home defense range quite easily. Upland game loads with a flight control wad have very good effectiveness at home defense range out of a cylinder bore shotgun. They actually do better in cylinder bore than they do in a choked shotgun. Buying cheap target ammo for defense is a stupid idea in any gun. Don't bet your life on it, whether it is a handgun or a shotgun.

I hate how everyone who dismisses the shotgun holds it to the standards and limitations of a rifle. "the recoil is lower and you have a larger magazine so you can get more shots off!" has got to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard. 1. there probably isn't going to be a follow up shot, and 2. if there is, this is where training comes in. I've shot shotguns my whole life, they don't recoil for me. look at sport shooters with even more training. you're at the wrong fight if 1 or 2, let alone 8 rounds cant fend off the attackers.

Any gun can be used effectively in self defence in certain situations. Its all about shot placement/training/practice/accuracy/skills/tactics.. obviously gear/guns matter but not as much as knowing what to do with them. A shotgun, a rifle, a pistol and a revolver can all be used effectively. I've saw a video of a woman defending her home against 3 burglars with a revolver. Sure an AR is better than a revolver, but a revolver can still do the job sometimes.

Wife: You shot me!!! Husband: I'm sorry love, I'm so glad it was just a scratch though. Wife: You were probably aiming for me, weren't you! Husband: What? No, it was just a stray pellet from the buck shot. I'd never even think of hurting you. Wife: Then why did you?? Is that why you took all those stupid gun classes, to try and kill me!? Husband: I was trying to save your life, it was an accident! Wife: You were trying to save my life by shooting me?? Husband: I didn't shoot YOU, I was shooting at the man choking you! I guess I technically shot you, but I wasn't shooting AT you. Wife: * turns to the officer on the scene * My husband shot me!!

The average person will never ever experience a home invasion..break ins happen during the day while your at work ...no one wants to go into a house when someone is there , they damn sure don't want to do it and then take a hostage. You want in ,out and no Hassel . If some dumb ass does decide "let's go in while they are asleep " and you wake up , so half awake ,scared ,never experienced it before ,and pitch black....sorry I'll take the shotgun.

If a bad guy is holding your spouse like that, in a real life home invasion scenario there is really no good gun solution, especially for the average guy. You created a scenario where no gun is ideal. Even if you're an expert marksman with a pistol or rifle, your adrenaline and emotions will be on 10, and they are probably moving around a bit and can move the second you pull the trigger and your spouse is more then pissed, she's dead. You are an expert marksman, relaxed in bright daylight firing at stationary targets that you set up. Big difference. And the guy at the end of your hall would be very much dead if you were using a load such as Federal LE132 00 or a slug.

Kevin Breese a civilian expert marksman maybe, but an expert marksman from the MILITARY?!?! Those guys shoot distances short and mid! They know how to deal with moving targets! See, they use snipers for the long mile shots, but they use sharpshooters and marksmen for the short neighborhood stuff.

Funny. I came to the same exact conclusion as you presented. I took a 3 day firearm training course a few years back and after gaining skills with pistol, shotgun and AR15, the instructor at the end asked which weapon I'd want if a burglar broke in. Without hesitating I said my AR15. I can put a bullet exactly where I want it with my AR. My rifle is in the closet next to my bed is about the same setup as yours (I'm running irons on mine). Thanks for the great video and dispelling the myths.

Invest in a decent red dot sight. Iron sights are a nightmare to dial in on when you're on condition black in a home invastion or close-quarters-combat situation. With the red dot, if it's sighted in right, it's point-and-shoot; whatever that red dot hits dies. The couple hundred bucks you spend on the sight could quite literally mean the difference between life and death for you or someone you love.

good advice HA also consider a prism scope with an etched reticle (gives you the same reticle even if your battery dies as well as allot of people will attest that a lighted sight is a pain in the glass during the day, I know with my stigmatism I cannot use them). Anyway Vortex has a 1X and 3X as well as there 1X6x24 as well as a new 1X8X24 which are longer but still get you down to 1X. Also you cannot discount the Primary Arms ACCS reticle stuff.
