What type of firearm is most commonly used for home defense in Louisiana?

Handgun
Shotgun
Rifle
Assault rifle

The correct answer is: Handgun

While all of these options can technically be used for home defense, the most commonly used firearm for this purpose in Louisiana is a handgun. This is due to the ease of maneuverability and accessibility in a close-quarters home defense situation. Shotguns and rifles may also be used, but they may be more difficult to handle in small spaces. Assault rifles, being military-grade weapons, are not typically used for home defense.
