Any intruder who hears the distinctive sound that is made when you load a shotgun is likely to decide that he would much rather be somewhere else, very quickly. Nor is he likely to return.

We don't own a shotgun yet, but this is the very reason why it's my husband's choice to have at home. He said the sound alone would make a grown man pee in his pants.

I agree with your husband, CCC. :-)

It’s why we bought one. Sits next to the bed.

One thought - buy some dummy rounds so y’all can practice loading and “firing” in the bedroom in the dark etc.

Any Freepers w/ an opinion on #1 Buckshot vice #00 for home defense?
