As I have said, I am not a fan, but that does not mean that I do not have a 12 gauge shotgun (Remington Model 870 with three way collapsible stock) loaded with 7 Remington Reduced Recoil 1oz Slugs. using the proper load it can be very effective. As was posted in another thread, some tests have said 0 is more than enough inside 3 meters. Others say different. OO is generally accepted as acceptable. But I want to be sure that when I shoot him (drugged up or not) that he will not be able to continue the attack. I did not include it in my list of weapons for home defense, because it is not one I use, it is there for my wife, because she is more comfortable with it then the M4.

I'm runnin' 00-slug consistantly through to the bottom of the mag... If that doesn't stop 'em, then well... I'm screwed.

LOL, years ago after my wife and I first got married, we were living in the ghetto of Jacksonville (yes there is a ghetto here) and had an altercation with a local crack head, he said that he would get me in my sleep, just before I informed the proper authorities (who did nothing) I told him that if he were able to make it past the living room he deserved to have everything I own. Never saw him again. Why do skinny crack heads always start problems with the big guy?

I've only had to rack that piece twice in anger and both times tensions just evaporated when I racked it... and my adversaries went from certifiable Bad @$$ to citizens just amazingly quick... I think if I could have timed it, it would have matched the pace of the first shell seating in the chamber.

LOL, luckily I have never had to draw in civilian use. My wife on the other hand did, one time. While I was deployed she heard some glass break and someone working on the back door, she cut the dogs loose, who will not bark till its too late (for the bad guy anyway, but like I said earlier, you can not solely rely on another breathing being to protect you) and chambered a slug. The noise stopped and all she saw was a shadow beating feet across the back yard.
As he was still outside, and trying to get away, she did not cut the dogs loose, nor did she feel the need to do anything other than clear the shotgun and call the cops (the cops ended up doing nothing BTW, they did not even pace a car on the house till she could get the door window fixed). Ahhh she is a too good a woman.

I am really enjoying your information here, you should consider writing some articles for America's First Freedom or similar advocacy magazine. I'm quite sure they'd love it.
