I don't have room to store that many guns, or time to shoot 'em!

Just a simple revolver. Everything else stays in the safe.
I can shoot my way to the safe if necessary.

I don't know why you would need all twenty-one of those for home defense, but it looks like I'm a few short. I'm headed for the gun store tomorrow.
I cannot imagine their motivation for such an article, but I could actually live with most of the choices.:cool:

It brings in eyeballs, and your IP address.
Once again... it's all about the advertising.... not the guns....

Semi-automatic click bait. You have to click thru the slide show and every click is $.
A long time ago I took classes on marketing and even attended seminars by people who seemed to be pretty smart.
I will never understand the idea that this is all about throwing as much advertising s#!T at you as can be put on the monitor let alone sending out several emails a day.

Used to be billboards and junk snail mail, and only reached a small percentage of the population, which was easy to ignore. Now your smart phone, and every other form of electronic communication is a delivery system, so it reaches literally nearly every person on the planet 24/7, and makes it easy to buy whatever they're selling with a couple mouse clicks and a credit card or other system of payment (eg. PayPal). You can order up a hooker or a pizza (or both at the same time) from the comfort of your home and have it delivered in minutes. What a wonderful world. ;) :unsure:

When I saw the thread title my first thought was, JBP needs to move somewhere a little less dangerous.
That's funny !!
More and more, I think a lot of written material comes from AI (Artificial Idiocy).
I guess some folks on both sides of the fence would ask the same question, Who needs 21 guns to protect their home?....
I guess the Branch Davidians did, but that did not work out too well.
Sorry, that might have been in poor taste... it's early....

Location and personal definition of 'home defense' are the key words.
Located in an urban (possibly gang territory) area where there's a high risk of a multiple entry of armed thugs scenario is far different than a rural setting where a roaming thief or two might decide to make a sneak and grab entry. Urban SD must (or should) include consideration of where missent bullets will strike. Rural areas not so much.
In my situation, I only have about 3-5 degrees of the 360 degree pie to be careful of if shooting is required-even with a centerfire rifle. Therefore, my choices of home defense are far different (and probably more powerful) than someone with occupied buildings only feet away. Also, homeowners in rural or less densely populated areas are often outside more than city folks and there may be need to address problems at longer range than a small handgun or buckshot is suitable for.

Exactly. I'm out in the woods far enough I could use an RPG and not worry about collateral damage. :)
The way I see it is, you need at least one for every room. And then you need a backup. And these days you need to make sure you have enough ammo for all of them so that might lead to picking up something else in a different caliber that you already have ammo for.
Wouldn't touch that Benelli M4 with a ten foot pole. The Henry Big Boy looks like fun. Maybe not for the house, but an outside range banger for sure.
Well, here's some of the answer for me in regards to that..... I have to confess I don't have a gun in each room of our house.... but I do have most of the time 8-9 loaded guns in various places around the house.... and 6 of those which are hidden but easily accessible are fully loaded semi-auto pistols of the exact same make model and caliber and all with Crimson Trace Laser Grips. As for ammo, my rule is a minimum of 200 rounds for each gun.... but you know when you get past 16K rounds of ammo stored.... it gets kind of ridiculous.
