I'll start out with this:

I'm pretty lucky (so far) living in Pennsylvania, USA in what is available for self defense and home defense.

I have a State issued concealed weapons carry permit, it's a photo ID and allows carry of a concealed weapon (gun or knife). There are restrictions, such as not carrying in a place with a liquor license. Not that I'd want to start shooting in a room full of people (unless they were all shooting at me).

This carry permit is only good in the State of PA, here in the USA the carry laws vary from State to State and unless you are in Law Enforcement you can't really travel while armed.

When I travel I carry my handgun locked in the back, and the clips (two 15 round) in the glove compartment. Here in the USA there is now a Law limiting clip capacity to 10 rounds.

My loophole for this is that I bought my handgun (9mm S&W 659) pre-ban so my clips are legal. In actual carry I usually have a 10 round clip just so if I surrender it to Law Enforcement I don't have to explain where I got the 15 round clips.

For home defense nothing beats a 12 gauge shotgun, and I've got a good one. A Remington 1100 autoloader. I bought it for Deer hunting and it has a short rifled barrel and red dot aimpoint optical sight on it.

One shot stopping power, even if you only aim to dismember (not recommended). Limited blow through penetration power, so the neighbors are probably safe.
