Illegal in California.
I sooooo want to move.
Dogs are the best insurance. The gun MAY not always be available.
Besides the dogs wouldn't ALLOW anyone to get NEAR the house. The dogs would also allow you the time to get the gun and fire away. BLAM!!!
My husband always said that a shotgun was best: it's huge and it scatters.
So get a .44Mag Ruger. Load .410’s in and you are good to go and legal, which shouldn’t be a problem for any one who believes in the 2nd Amendment.
