Get you a mossburg 500, great home defence gun. Keep her loaded with buckshot.
You might consider using #4 buckshot because it won’t generally penetrate 2 layers of drywall. Might avoid shooting the wife or kiddies.
Good choice, especially since it has a safety for both right-hand and left-hand shooters. I have the Mossberg along with an Ithaca M87 Police pump, a reliable gun but the righty cross-bolt safety is a bit of a pain for me as southpaw.
Your buckshot comment reminded me of what one gun dealer told me: Use birdshot.
Buckshot tells a capable defense attorney that you’re itching for a confrontation. Birdshot still kills, but kills the argument over your Rambo wishes.
FYI, nothing more.
I have one it's a great gun and it is loaded with shot ready to be racked.
