Even if the house is on your property, you just cannot do that, especially if you live on a large plot in a rural area. Men aren’t the only threats.

By the way, as I’ve said before, I consider the shotgun to the be the best home defense weapon available. I applaud his choice of weapons. Also, if I’m not mistaken, he’s shown carrying a Beretta 1301 with an extended tube mag and red dot sight, my favorite home defense tool.
