Can you explain why your long barrel 1911 is a "weapon of mass destruction?" You said this in the other thread and Im a little cofused as to how any handgun could be considered this...unless your joking, I just missed the joke.
Thats a fine home defense weapon too, don't get me wrong. Personally to answer the OP I would choose a sidearm 9,.40, or .45 and a 12gauge shotgun. After doing some FOF I've found that I really don't want to go searching my house after hearing a "bump in the night." I'd probably choose to wait it out in my room, behind cover, with a shotgun. If I had to move (if I had kids or what not), then I would take the pistol. This is a bit more manuverable around corners and runs less of a risk for a disarm.
I think rifles are only essential if its either an offensive mission or you live on a ranch or something like that.
