Would somebody tell me if pellets for rifle will slow down a burglar/etc?
They are cheaper and may be all we can afford right now.
Some pellet guns are as good as a .22 up close. They can kill.
The thing that really slows a crook down faster than anything is the sound. That’s why cops don’t rack their shotguns until they bust in. That sound of a pump shotgun will make you drop to your knees. I know. I saw a guy drop one night while helping my bounty hunting cousin nab a druggie. And the gun wasn’t even loaded. But he didn’t know that.
On the other hand....I'd hope the bad guy wasn't armed. Cause you just might make them real mad...
