I got to plink with a M1 Carbine once, and it was great fun. Would I buy one? Probably not. I've got a .22LR levergun and .357Mag levergun for that, and a bunch of handguns.
I have to side with Pax. A good revolver is probably the best thing you can own. My personal "go-to gun" is a .38Spl S&W M60. If I get killed after five rounds out of that (and I've practiced a lot), then my number was up to meet my maker.
Having said that, my friend has a 95lb Doberman-Pinscher, and she's the best protection you can get. He got her when his daughters were running long-distance cross-country to go with them. The dog knows me, and we get along just fine, but anyone trying to get into his place would likely pee their pants and get out of there, pronto! It's a sweet dog, if it knows you, but a big Doberman is probably not something some BG is likely going to challenge.
