I have a different question...my brother lives not far from where that family was murdered New Years Day in Richmond ,Va. and for the first time in his life is now considering purchasing home protection. What should he get that's relatively safe,efficient asnd cost effective?

an Remington 870 12 gauge with a 26" barrel. Throw in the improved cylinder choke load with 00 buck and you have the ultimate in home security

mosberg pump 12 ga. shotgun. Easy to shoot. Very effective. Inexpensive and makes a great sound as you chamber a round. Easier to become proficient with than a pistol.

Otherwise, I have a .45 auto that I like very much.

Get a Mossberg pistol grip shotgun in .410 gage. Load it with #4 buck. Very light weight, with .44 magnum power. No kick. The #4 buck is like hitting someone with 10 rounds of .22's at the same time.

Best gun for home protection is a shotgun, loaded with 00 buckshot. You don't have to be dead accurate and you're less likely to shoot your family or a neighbor through a wall. Pump action model 870 Remington would be my choice with a short slug barrel. Stay away from the Mossberg.

He is right, the sound of a pump loading is your first deterrent.
