Crompsin, thank you for your detailed post. The overall length of my .30-.30 is very close to the overall length of a shotgun with a 18.5" barrel (regular stock, not handgrip), but I would be much more comfortable using one of my hanguns. As for having a gun taken away, yes, that is a real possibility in some scenarios, but as I tell my wife, "If somebody gets close enough to grab the pistol, you waited too long to start shooting." If you're wrestling with an intruder over your firearm, you're already in deep shit, be it a handgun or a long gun.
BTW I live in a house, not a Porta Potty.
