It seems like the boat sailed away and I missed this one. That looks VERY interesting. thanks. Looks like her and I need to look into converting to this weapon. This appears to the new weapon for home defense as the preferred choice.  |
My spouse prefers a handgun, its what she used the most when her father brought her shooting. I prefer a shotgun for many reasons
1. Again, no overpenetration through walls where you might accidently hit or kill your neighbor - youd be liable for that
2. A good old fashined scatter gun with double 00, will put your ass in the dirt, and your probably not going to get up. (if you dont want to kil him outright, load a birdshot shell last so its the first in the chamber, if they dont get the hint after that, your reload is a 00 )
3. More then likely, when you use this thing, it will be late at night, dark, and you'll be waking up out of bed. Point being, Aiming will be more difficult, you dont aim a shotgun, you point it.
4. Hitting center of mass with a shotgun is infintley easier, especially when your panicked or scared - and combine point 3, you more then likely will be to some degree.
5. You want to avoid that encounter to begin with, the sound of a shotgun charging is VERY distinct, and that sound alone will make someone crap their pants when they know its meant for them.
