A note about ammunition:
Many Texas CCP instructors advise that "soft-point" or hollow-point shells be kept in your weapon, especially for home defense/protection.
If you use a solid projectile, it has the potential to pass through an intruder and do some damage/injury to a neighbor or passer-by. Judges and juries just may be screwy enough to find you liable for such collateral damage, even though your original decision to use lethal force was completely justified.
As goofy as it may seem, I have only hollow-point ammo for all my firearms.

Yep. I will probably never never fire my weapon for self defense. I am working with a company that sells equipment to police departments. Long story short, our conversation has come around to using bean bags in 12 guage shotguns. It will put a man down. It provides protection to family and neighbors and self. I am seriously considering a home 12 guage defense.

For the road soft points are the choice.
