Oooh - ‘Pump Action’.

Aren’t they the kind that can be very noisy? I’ve always wanted a loud, noisy gun - it would probably intimidate that ‘home invader’.

IMNHO:

The first and only thing a home invader should hear from the homeowner is

“BA

because the invaders brain should be an expanding cloud of disassociated brain and skull fragments before the

NG”

can register.

Not saying I have all the skill and equipment necessary to do that for myself. It’s a goal.

Pump action is less likely to fail than a semi-automatic. I think adding a pistol grip (along with the butt stock) would be helpful in controlling the shotgun for someone who is not as agile as we once were. Handle them to see what works better for you.
No license required. Well under $500
