This thread has hit three major widespread misconceptions about the shotgun used in home defense:
- Racking the slide will scare the bad guy away
- You don't have to aim with a shotgun because it has a big pattern
- Birdshot is an effective home defense load
You can add firing from the hip to the list too!
As explained to a co-workers friend the other day, birdshot might work well on a quail but, a drugged up leather wearing adversary won't go down as easy. You need penetration. That load that you think won't over penetrate might not penetrate enough.
Go to a construction site and get some scrap sheetrock and shoot it. You might learn something beneficial if you try different distances and different loads.
