The seven shot tube will allow me to offer two rounds of number 6 birdshot to an intruder before I release five rounds of double-ought buckshot.

I take issue with both his choices of weapon and ammo. My primary home defense weapon is a Saiga 12. The box magazines hold 12 and drum magazine holds 20. Birdshot is a waste. My first round is #4 tactical buck, followed by alternating saboted slugs and 00 buck.

If my home is ever invaded there will be no need to call police, I'll just call Serv Pro to clean up the mess.

With sabot slugs you'll also need to call a General Contractor to rebuild your walls :-)

I don't have a shotgun - yet. I'm looking at a Mossberg 500 and mentioned loading it with Slugs for home defense too(1). I was advised against that by some 'shotgun experts' as Slugs tend to create collateral damage.

(1) Here in IL, slugs, Sabot or Rifled, are the only Long Gun 'cartridge' option for Deer (but Black Powder 'Rifles' are okay)
