Home defence? Bird shot! If you ever have to use it, afterwords, you only have to spaakle and paint.

If you use 00-buck, yer talking about re-building...FRegards

Urban Myth. Birdshot at close range is like a slug. It will handily penetrate sheetrock like it isn't there.

When I was in college, we took all the worthless textbooks we could not sell back up to the National Forest. My buddy, Steve, had a shotgun with an 18 1/4" barrel. When loaded with #8 shot, at close range, the destruction penetrated a 2" textbook, and the result was a book with a big hole and lots of confetti.

Methinks anything coming out of a shotgun at close range will do the job. It's the follow-up shot to the head at close range that closes the deal.

I've taken down Staffordshire Terriers with a wrist-rocket and fishing weights (former paper-boy in a bad neighborhood).
