Jerome Mauderly, 71, and his
wife, Carolyn, 66, were asleep when escaped inmate Rodney Long, 38, broke into
their rural Bedford home a little after 10 p.m. on Monday, said Iowa Division of
Criminal Investigation spokesman Mitch Mortvedt.

Around 2 a.m. Tuesday, while Long was upstairs looking for supplies, Jerome Mauderly sneaked into the kitchen and recovered his shotgun, Mortvedt said. Carolyn Mauderly called 911 from their bedroom. When Long walked down the stairs, Jerome Mauderly shot him in the torso. Long was found lying face down in the kitchen, Mortvedt said.

Shotguns are cool, I will give you that, but I prefer a handgun for home defense. Confined spaces and all.

I have a Browning Citori that I use to shoot skeet... a lot of fun.
I have a Taurus Judge that I keep near the bed just for home defense. Yeah, I know... Taurus. But it's a throwaway so I don't really worry. I chose it for 2 reasons. It's a revolver and it can fire .410 shells. I keep it loaded with PDX1 Defender shells and they are impressive. Worst case scenario, that should work in the dark long enough for me to reach something bigger.

Nothing wrong with taurus

And a shotgun is still way way better

A .410 is for shooting sparrows

Stoeger 12 ga. 20" coach gun and a sanitized throwdown so they're always armed.

"... if house defense is your primary purpose, do not overlook the Lupara -- a short-barreled double 12-gauge shotgun with exposed hammers. If your object is to defend your hearth and home, you can almost certainly do it better with that than with an Uzi or an M16."

- Jeff Cooper, February 1990

Figure of speech, but I can reach it in bed. I sleep just fine. The world isn't always a warm & fuzzy place filled with people that like you.

I just cant sleep with a gun under my pillow.
I tried it.
YOu worry about pulling the trigger if you sleep, knocking it off the bed. Wonder where it is all the time. And the lump. Just doesnt work out.
Between the mattresses or under the bed works pretty well though

Well he wasn't arrested, just detained for questioning and released without charges, again... So no Zimm rapes to satisfy your bloodlust.
Zimmerman smashed his wife's ipad that she recorded his assault with. the police are attempting to extract the evidence & determine what charges are appropriate..........jail time sounds eminent in his dim future.......
