Ok, all this gun stuff has got me thinking. I need some home protection.
My situation and thinking:
1. I live in a rural area with mostly burglary crimes to fuel meth purchases.
So I'm thinking something that will fit in a bath robe and can be used on a burglar. But I also want something with accuracy at range, since them Meth guys are fast and can run, even carrying a T.V.
2. I live well away from people.
Things like a silencer are not needed. Nobody is around to hear either the shots or the perps.
3. I'm not afraid of close contact interactions with perps.
Maybe a gun with a knife attached? It gets so boring out here on the sand that any interaction might be fun, and any physicality in the hallway at night probably carries over to my climbing.
4. My house is recently remodeled so I don't want to mess up the walls.
Through and through rounds might be a problem. Unless it is way clean. Last thing I want is a f*#king set of lungs pasted to my livingroom wall. A small hole I can deal with.
5. Must be able to get ammo at Walmart or Big 5
Our retail choices are limited out here. Cheap ammo would be good too.
Please advise...

Save some money and just buy a sack of meth and it's likely they will just take that.

Trip wires with explosives will work, even when you're passed out or not home. Just tell your dogs to jump over them
Mmm, might pose a problem with #4 on your list but a bleeding meth addict on your floor will be messy no matter what

Meh, easy one. Any autoloader 12 gauge will do.
1st round - nonlethal rubber
2nd round - bird shot
3rd round - 00 Buck
4th round - flechette (Do NOT use in the house, believe me.)
Done. Although I know you're just posting this up to rile up the masses.
You ready to sell that VW yet?

After contemplating it a bit more.. I think Tiger pits would be the answer. They break into your house, they fall into the trap.. the tiger eats them. No mess.

Just in's answer is on the mark. Make that a sack of unusually powerful meth. Maybe even with some enhancements.
Problem solved.

Build a wall around your property. Embed broken glass on top of the wall. Get a mean dog.
You'll know if anyone is trying to steal your stuff. Then you knife 'em.

Bacons good, but tigers are cool. He could have some tiger traps and some wild boar traps. Best of both worlds. Wild kingdom baby.. thats what I'm talking about.
On a different note, I thought Russ kept a passle of dirtbags in the basement making all sorts of doodads for him. Why not just have them patrol the property. Heck.. give them beer and put them out front and no one will ever think of robbing you. One look and the thief's will feel sorry for you and be making donations. Not taking things.
"Here dude.. you need this more then I do. Merry Christmas".

When in Rome . . . .
You are going about it the wrong way. Get some mid-eighties cars up on cinder blocks, some old bike frames, couple of old couches in the yard (free on CL), couple of pit bulls (CL again). Any kind of remodel or improvement makes you a target.

Funny, a friend and i were talking about this yesterday and we both came to the conclusion that if we found ourselves living in an area where we felt we actually needed a gun in our homes to feel safe, then it was time to move.

An anecdote for Bergbryce, because I think he lives in SLT;
My ex and I moved from Meyers to SLT about five years ago. Within the first week, someone was shot a hundred feet from our house.

I'll look into the "kill stick" and for the sprinters maybe a crossbow with some cord attached. I f*#king hate chasing perps.
The Swine Hole thing is good too. I better warn the UPS man.

- short range: pop a haulbag over their head, and dispatch with hammer. You should have some durable bags around, good for multiple uses, and this system also contains the splatter. For 2 meth heads at once, deploy the Snake Charmer.
 the sprinters: toss the special bolas, made with Fish hooks and funkness cables. Then saunter up and deploy the short range tactic to finish off.
