Tom beat me to the punch on that one...but yeah, that's what my go-to HD shotgun looks like. My alternate is an 870 Wingmaster with rifle style sights, a Magpul stock, and a Surefire forend on it.
As for home hardening, you are on the perfect forum to bring that up and get some rational, reasonable responses from a number of people with experience with various products.
Good measures to start would be:
- Deadbolts in your doors and longer screws affixing the deadbolts and the strike plates
- Hurricane film on windows
- Good alarm system
- Good camera system with at least one camera clearly visible as a warning to shitheads
- Good dog trained to help keep watch and protect against intruders
It would be a great topic in and of its own right where people with experience with various aspects could give sage guidance on purchase decisions, installation, etc.
