A year a go I might have agreed with most of these recommendations but the way things are looking I’d personally say the time for taking baby steps is over.
Get yourself a semiautomatic rifle in a caliber of no less than .223. Then, book in a day or two at a professional training camp like Thunder Ranch. If things are still peachy in six months then you can look at broadening your horizons. Until then, if you think racking the pump on a shotgun will scare the bad guys, putting a round of 308 winchester through your ceiling will make them positively crap themselves. (indoors it sounds like lightening just struck, and it’ll be worth it to fix your roof). To boot, you’ll have 19 to 29 rounds left in the mag.
It’s hard to argue with those numbers.
