I can't speed load in 1.2 seconds like an IPSC shooter.

You can if you just practice. Look up drills on tactical and emergency reload. Dry fire practice until you can do it in the dark. Practice indexing. 1.2 seconds is enough to draw and shoot 2 rounds, more than enough time for an emergency reload.

I have 5 rounds of double aught buck in a 12 gauge. I would be sickened by seeing the results of 4 guys coming down my hallway. I would not hesitate to use it but I still would not like to see the aftermath.

No, you don't understand. I don't carry my spare magazine in an open-top low friction kydex mag holster like IPSC do. My mag pouch is nylon with a spring steel belt clip and a full flap with velcro. I do practice indexing, and I always have my mag on my weak side with the rounds facing the rear so when I draw it I index my index finger along the back of the magazine, then bring it up into my workspace to insert into the gun.

However, I cannot do all of that while trying to hold off the fourth attacker. Each attacker gets one, or maybe two, then reassess. I'm not going to run dry on the first three.

I store my extra magazine next to my pistol and I’ve practiced the orientation of the magazine in my hand.

In WA state, the day is coming when they ban hi-cap mags. I need to be able to eject the mag and reload quickly with regular mags, for the very reason you state.

I can’t really dictate what order you do it. Incapacitate then eliminate. If you have to slow someone’s roll, you gotta.

You'd need to hire the "Like it never even happened" guys for cleanup.

Oops, they went to the wrong house. They needed to to an anti-gun liberal house. They went to a pro-gun house.

Yes, it’s real. I don’t actually want one, but it’s got a certain charm.

Careful with those double taps. Remember, everyone gets one before anyone gets two.

Yep - that bunch gives me the druggie vibe. And druggies come up with stupid plans all the time for a "big score". Am gonna speculate they came up with a scheme to rob a dope man (dealer), but those sort tend to be ready for such scenarios.

I read the article, the usual piss poor writing that omits so many relevant facts, that should be known by any decent reporter.

Where were the perps when shot?

What kind of weapon?

How in world can 'several rounds' be used as a descriptor? 4-8-12-16???
