Shotgun For Defense

[Suzuki]

Everyone has to make their own decision however I am not willing to give up the advantage of suprise by loudly racking in a shell while the perp quite possibly is already pointing his loaded weapon at me. There are other ways to determine if its a friendly while pointing your loaded weapon at them.

Buy a pistol, get a permit, practice at the range. When someone breaks in, nothing beats a shotgun

I think the Taurus Judge comes close when loaded with .410 00 buck shot and 45 cal. every other round.

If not, there should not be loaded guns in the house. Otherwise you just have a false sense of protection.

It is quite different from having a loaded gun and actually taking another persons life.

Remember, it is YOU, the person that pulled the trigger, the person that will live with its consequences for the rest of YOUR life.

Good luck and be safe

The US Government has done a fine job however, training many to shoot with deadly force. I'm betting millions of us.
