Generally, what would be the worst firearm for home defense?

mk70ss · February 16, 2018, 03:31 PM

One that doesnt function at all.

The one locked up where you can’t get to it in time.

Simply put the one you can not shoot or hit your target with. Make, model, caliber or gauge does not matter.

A Jimenez pistol. Hope you can get it not to jam.

Not having one at all

My vote for worst would be a blackpowder flintlock pistol. At least if you had a blackpowder rifle or musket, if it didn't go bang you'd still have a substantial club in your hand!

Assuming it works...Flobert single shot?

Don't shoot him! You'll just make him mad.

The list of the worst firearms for home defense would be endless, but this thread isn't.
