Criminals today are not worried about incarceration for crime including home burglaries or assault, and while homeowners can try to ramp up barriers to keep would-be robbers away, an alarm blasting or a home security sign in the front yard just won\u2019t deter them from smashing a window or picking a lock to get in and grab what they can. One thing that will deter a criminal, however, is the end of a gun, be it pistol or shotgun, aimed right at their face when they try to rob a home. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re trying to determine a good gun to buy to help protect your home and family, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstsecurityservices.com\/industries-served\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"guns-for-home-security\" title=\"7 Guns for Home Security\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First Security Services<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> has compiled a list of seven guns they recommend for home security that are easy to use and can help ensure criminals don\u2019t have the upper hand if they make it through the door. <\/span><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-08-at-9.05.44-PM.png\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"guns-for-home-security\" title=\"7 Guns for Home Security\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"7 Guns for Home Security\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-100079\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-08-at-9.05.44-PM.png\" alt=\"7 Guns for Home Security\" width=\"1234\" height=\"856\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-08-at-9.05.44-PM.png 1234w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-08-at-9.05.44-PM-150x104.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-08-at-9.05.44-PM-400x277.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-08-at-9.05.44-PM-768x533.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-08-at-9.05.44-PM-1024x710.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1234px) 100vw, 1234px\" \/><\/a>\n<h3><b>Glock 17<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Designed and manufactured by Glock in Austria, the Glock 17 has been used by the Austrian military and other law enforcement since 1982.

Many people believe this gun is a fully automatic \u201cmachine gun\u201d type of weapon, but it is a semi-automatic gun just as many handguns and long guns today are. The AR-15 is a lightweight gun that is made from synthetic materials and aluminum alloys. The AR stands for ArmaLite, the company that originally produced the gun and not \u201cassault rifle\u201d as has been a common misconception over the years. ArmaLite sold the gun design to Colt and Colt has been selling it since 1963 to civilians. \u00a0The AR-15 is a solid choice for home protection and is used in many homes across the U.S. today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Quick Specs:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Overall length: 39 inches<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Weight: 6.55 lb. loaded<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Caliber: .223 Remington<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Magazine capacity: 5\/15\/20\/30<\/span><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-08-at-9.08.09-PM.png\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"guns-for-home-security\" title=\"7 Guns for Home Security\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"7 Guns for Home Security\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-100081\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-08-at-9.08.09-PM.png\" alt=\"7 Guns for Home Security\" width=\"1382\" height=\"884\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-08-at-9.08.09-PM.png 1382w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-08-at-9.08.09-PM-150x96.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-08-at-9.08.09-PM-400x256.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-08-at-9.08.09-PM-768x491.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-08-at-9.08.09-PM-1024x655.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1382px) 100vw, 1382px\" \/><\/a>\n<h3><b>Smith &amp; Wesson 686<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Smith &amp; Wesson 686 can be purchased in either six or seven shot cylinders and offers a tough frame for continuous firing.

Also, it is very important to keep your gun out of reach of children and others in your home with the use of a locked gun safe or locked gun cabinet where others cannot access it. It\u2019s great to have a good gun for home protection and thankfully most will never have a need to use it, but it\u2019s very important to take precautions to keep those who live in or visit your home safe from improper gun handling or storage. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\"><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/BrowseSpecificCategory\/Parent\/Guns\/ViewAll.aspx\" campaign=\"HOME_DEFENSE\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">***Shop GunsAmerica for your next home defense gun***<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking to increase your home&#8217;s security and your peace of mind?
