So I am sitting in my shop today and in walks a twenty something girl with her parents. She has been looking for a gun for self defense (not CCW) and wanted to see what we had to offer. We show her M&P's, snubby revolvers, Walther PPS and some other odds and ends.

She then asks about shotguns. I explain some of the issues with them for home defense and ask her why she was interested in them (as most 115lbs girls have little interest in shooting these). She tells us that the other gun stores she had visited told here that this was the best choice for her.

Once I heard this, I asked her if they told her that the sound of racking the shotgun would scare off the bad guy?? She said yes! I said did they also tell you that you do not have to aim a shotgun either? She said yes!

So yet again, my fellow gun store owners are perpetuating two of the biggest defensive lies ever told.
