OK, YOU ARE RIGHT, BUT STILL THE EFFECT WAS GOOD RIGHT ... But be sure and get a rifle with all the furniture and options. Best way to scare the liberals the mostest.

Otherwise, just get a shotgun for those riot things. My choice for up close and personal...

This meets all your requirements. Maximum scary, maximum utility. The CCW is for the training, when, who, and what for shooting guidance and your state laws. If you like, a pocket pistol is a good accessory.

I have two AR15’s with all the goodies, but unless things degenerate into open street fighting, the Rem 870 Express with a Knoxx Stock and full-length mag tube is still my #1 weapon.

I’m in the market for a good semi-auto 12ga. If you had a budget of 1,000 what would you recommend?

A shotgun like that is perfect for homeland defense. If someone is downstairs, get your kids into the master bedroom, take cover, cover the door with the shotgun and call the cops.

The pistol is for when you run out of shells for your shotgun.
