A gunfight erupted in Detroit as a neighbor interrupted the theft of the catalytic converter from a minivan. The neighbor came out with a long gun, which appeared to be a Mossberg single shot bolt action shotgun, based on the shape of the trigger guard and bolt. The underside of the long gun showed the lack of a magazine.
A man spotted two crooks stealing the catalytic converter from his neighbor's Chevrolet Venture. He came out armed with a gun, hoping to scare them away. Police say the men took off toward their car, fired shots and drove off.
Just minutes later they came back for more. They fired shots at the home. The homeowner shot back. His friend -- an elderly man inside his home -- was shot in the arm.

Prior to retirement I was a service tech, often called to inner city convenience stores. That piece, nestled in my “tool vest” was, at the very least, very comforting. Not to mention that any carjacking attempt can be thwarted easily through the door if necessary.
...and regarding the .410, I agree and don’t often load them but I just enjoy the non-unitasker element. In practice, the .410 shot, 4 balls, had a very nice pattern at 30 feet.
“Why does the Chief have his gun confiscators disarming law abiding Detroiters?”
To be fair, we do not know if they impounded or confiscted the firearm. It would be worth knowing, though.
