What will a rife do for you? I heard those rifes don’t shoot to straight.

I’m rife with confusion.

Do you mean a rifle? If so, yes, get one. Equally important for everyday protection, in my VERY humble opinion, is a dog. And one big enough to do damage AND scare the crap out of anyone that comes to your home.

Go to the shelter. You will not be disappointed if you get one.

A rifle is for longer ranges like 25-500 yards if you just want protection from unrest- I would strongly recommend a Mossberg .410 gauge home defender shotgun with buckshot. It is easy for a woman to handle and is highly effective from 1-25 meters.

Why would you want a rifle? For defense purposes, a shotgun will serve you much better. You can use it for hunting at a short distance by loading it with a slug, and it’s wonderful for personal defense on your property. A rifle demands great accuracy and has a very long range. It is not a good defense weapon unless you live in the middle of nowhere and are concerned about picking off intruders 3/4 of a mile away. Use it on your own suburban location and you’ll take out the kids in the next six houses.

A lot would depend on your experience with rifles, and your home set-up.

If your concern is someone breaking in and threatening you or killing you, then it depends on if you want to go looking for them, or wait for them to come to you.

If you go looking for them (which I don’t advise), then something that can get around a corner easily is needed. Short rifle, no longer than a standard 30-30. I actually like the Ruger 10/22. Yes, it only shoots a .22 - but it is light and easy to practice with, and even a .22 fired in the chest will make most non-drugged up men eager to leave. The one time I used a gun for self-defense, it was a .22 pistol. Six shots, and there were 8 of them, but I wasn’t going to miss and no one wanted to be first!

I use a Marlin .44 Magnum rifle, but it is heavier and takes more effort to put a round in the chamber. It also sounds kind of like a shotgun, which would deter most would be robbers/killers.

If you are willing to wait for them to come to you, then a 20 gauge semi-auto shotgun might make sense. Or a 30-30. Although the 44 Mag rifle doesn’t kick very hard, holds 10 rounds and has plenty of punch for a man <15 feet away.

If you are looking to shoot before they come in the house...get a good lawyer first.

Varmint rifle, 223 caliber. Cheap ammo, higher(not highest) velocity, nice weight barrel for standing unsupported shooting. Accurate at distant targets.

Assault rifles are for firefights. You probably don't want to get into a firefight.

A 12-gauge pump shotgun is the very best thing for home-defense.

I would recommend a Remington 870 or Mossberg 500.

You may wan to buy an L, first.

Seriously, for self protection you can’t do better than an AR-15. Very light and easy to handle, easy to use and maintain, easy to aim and very lethal.

Hunting rifles might be better at 100+ yards but for self defense, you’re interested in targets within 25 yards. You want a large magazine and a rapid rate of fire. Volume is quality. If you miss with the first shot, the sounds of the second, third, fourth, etc will deter all but the most fool hardy.
