Shotguns for defense: Why bother or why would you overlook them!?

[AustinN4]

I meant on 1 target.

Yes, 15 rounds on 1 target is a bit excessive, I agree. But 3 rounds each on 5 targets? Sounds reasonable to me.

 

[Younggun]

Agree

In home defense' I doubt you will be shooting more than 25'

Interesting. Mine's about the same, but I'd probably be hopping up in the middle of that.

My house has the bedrooms in a row on the left off the living, kitchen, then dining. The master is all the way in the back and when my door is open you can see from the front door to the closet door where I keep my long guns. I work in people's houses daily and with open concept ranch style homes becoming more and more in demand those open spaces become more common.

I know his style wasnt strictly open floor plan due to construction limitations but his prairie style was very open.

A "shotgun" house by any topic of discussion.

Andy, although I disagree with you, it's not to the level this debate has gone. That is a product of a trolling asshoke, misunderstanding, lost in translation, and stubbornness.


I would be happy to continue this in a calmer tone and debate the legal aspects OC carbine vs shotgun as well as my views on why I don't feel the need to put out 15 pellets with one shot.

The thread has gotten fairly obscured and useless, except for entertainment value.

Agreed - now, where the heck are we? I got a bit tied down at work and then loading .410 ammo on my new press when I got home.

Need? What NEED? It's my RIGHT!

Interwebz cracks me up. Everyone arguing about which hammer to hit a nail with. Just hit the effing nail and be done with it. They all work if you're not a ruh-tard.

You post too much. In threads that I start too much.
