new to rifles...not to handguns...so, yes...this would be new for me. =-)
Oh, and like always...don't neglect the value of non-firearm defenses like alarms, cameras, and GOOD LOCKS AND DOORS. And a dog too. If your door holds the bad guy up for 5 minutes more, rather than giving in at the first kick, or if your alarms/dog/cameras give you 5 minutes warning that this guy is coming for no good, that's time you can use to call the police, get your firearm, gather your family in your saferoom, and set up a defensive position to stop him when he comes through the door.
