I concede. Birdshot isn't effective enough at close range.

But one other thing that will help you in court (if some trial lawyer wants in you in jail for some reason). Is to not use ammunition percieved as "cruel" or "inhumane" by the public. So no hollowpoints, no slugs, and (too bad for me) no rock salt. I guess birdshot would fall within that category too.
