As most probably caught, Amouranth had a home invasion in an attempt to rob her crypto. Husband shot one robber and the rest fled.
Colion does a half hour rundown with them both, at their house and using security camera footage as well.
If nothing else this is the kind of stuff that can help mainstream 2A and self defense going forward. Also is an excellent illustration of how shit a defensive situation is, cause almost nothing went "right", but the outcome ended well.
I couldn't care about this incident other than highlighting NEVER brag about your wealth online and the importance of 2A.
But something I wanted to always ask Americans on home defense, which is better:
Hand gun or shotgun? Of course there is both and more as an option but heat of the moment, both are there in front of you, you hear a noise downstairs, which do you immediately grab?
Carbine also a good option. Unless body armor is involved, it's got most of the pros of both pistols and rifles, while being more maneuverable and controllable. But I'm no expert and, honestly, a big part of it is that I just think they're cool, too.
Honestly, doesn't matter too much...the main factor is training; just be comfortable, preferably to an instinctual level to help overcome the stress/adrenaline, and you're set. There's a reason training is so often emphasized and encouraged.
I heard depends on where you live for some guns as I'd imagine for carbine you take out the robbers but also you neighbours in a built up area.
Nope. Carbines, if in pistol caliber, are only slightly more powerful than a handgun due to increased muzzle velocity. Also, the tests I've seen, overpenetration is hard to deal with no matter what, as pistol or rifle calibers will both tear through drywall; if you miss in the heat of the moment, that bullet is going somewhere, no matter its characteristics. But, yeah, although a generalization, rifles will tear through more shit, so definitely not always suitable.
Some rifle calibers tumble, but drywall isn't usually enough to start that process so, as mentioned, that bullet is going somewhere.
Also, I could be wrong, but I think shotguns actually really over penetrate. A lot of people have a lot of misconceptions about shotguns, but those pellets are individually small, and going really fast so, although they'll slow down, they still have more than enough juice to punch right through a lot initially.
Don't know how true it is, but some police will use #4 buckshot to limit overpenetration while still stopping the target. It's #00 buck that will rip walls to shreds.
