Let me guess. You were cleaning your keyboard and it suddenly went off.

Still, the shots from his .357 startled the suspects...

Understatement for sure! A .357 magnum has one loud muzzleblast, makes your ears ring if you're not wearing protection. Indoors? Mercy!

I was thinking of getting a 410 shotgun for home security

not too big, not too small.

Spray a nice wide pattern and you wont miss a thing...

Too small. 20 gauge or bigger, loaded with nothing smaller than #4 buckshot.

Wide pattern? Not at close range, which will be the distance with home defense. At 20 feet the pattern will be maybe 4" in diameter, if it's like my old Remington 870 12 gauge (cylinder bore; no choke).

This is life and death stuff. If you have to shoot then it's shoot-to-kill. Get an effective weapon.

Perfect justification of my preference for 12-Mag.

He wouldn’t have had to have good aim if it was a short barreled shotgun....

Yes, you do have to wonder how the gun grabbers would handle this kind of situation.

But I was so sure it was unloaded...

Now there’s a herd that could use some thinning.

Sear pin? I ain’t got no sear pin. I don’t need no steenking sear pin.
