I've just been informed that all home invasions occur with perps whacked out on so many drugs that there's no way to stop them short of a howitzer.

So, I want to be prepared.

Anyone have any recommendations for a good howitzer for home defense?

I'd like to be able to take it out to family picnics too, so compact is better.

TIA.

I figure something you can pull with a class 2 hitch would be sufficient. However, it might depend on the type of drugs that are prevelant in your "hood." YMMV

For something in a heavier frame, the French-made Obusier de 520 is bad-azz with plenty of stopping power.

This should be right up your alley..........I'd say it's the right size to support #8 shot.

For jogging/hiking/walking you have to take weight into consideration. I would go with a RPG-29.

Try this, it works great for a home defense system....

I helped bring this system on board back in the 80's.....
