For 700 us dollars you could pick up seven Mosins, one for each room, though as others have said, a rifle for home defense is a bad idea.

Pistol grip? Only if your shooting dove loads maybe. Personally, id ditch the pistol grip. Shooting buckshot with a pistol grip? Noooo thank you. is a better option. |

Not funny, and not appropriate. No matter what you think of another member, that's uncalled for.

Hmmm, I'm not sure what the licensing laws are in the States but what about a Garand? She's not bolt action, although the calibre of the bullet would probably suffer from the problem Steve has outlined in that it would go through the intruder and then off through seven states before it stopped.
In a pistol, perhaps the M9 would be a good choice, although it is rather modern but it has a little less stopping power than my other choice which is a M1911 (the pistol of Utah!). Alternatively if you want to go historical, there's the Luger P08, it's a good pistol and if you put in the 19mm Parabellum round then you won't take down half the house. I'm no real firearms expert...the biggest gun I've fired is an air rifle, but I do agree that training is key, if you get yourself a firearm be sure to join a local shooting club or visit your range often because the one major problem of having a weapon for self-defence is that in the heat of the moment that weapon can be taken away from you and used against you, so if you're going to do it right you have to do it right first time. |

9 mm still has a lot of penetration power. They can go through thin walls and kill bystanders. We had that here during a police raid a couple of years ago IIRC.

Sounds like you need two guns.
A military style bolt action would be fun at the range, but a sad choice for home defense. Get a short barrel pump shotgun or a handgun for home defense. And don't keep it by the TV or under the pillow!!! If the cost of rare ammo was no issue, then the cost of two guns shouldn't be either. |

So if this ammo is legal where you live, this would be the choice for home defense. |
