Please, don’t “guess” with your new gun. Seriously, get some range time in so you’ll know what to do and what to expect when you pull the trigger, especially from a 12-gauge.

I recommended bird shot for training, for those people afraid of firearms.
In fact a 14 guage is the best training tool behind a .22 /IMO

11 year old with basically the same sort of rifle.
She started out shooting air rifles then .22s - no flinching or trigger yanking to be found.
55 gr. Winchester spire point, TAC powder, CCI primers, mil-spec brass.
Death incarnate on water-filled milk jugs.

That sounds right. I also want to make sure there are no innocents in my line of fire, of course. And that includes my dog.

I need to make that more clear. If it’s me or the bad guy in an instant, and my dog is in the LoF, sorry dog.

It’s funny that a “friend” of mine knew how to get into my house. I was in AZ and he gave and “unexpected house call” from Vegas on a saturday night all the way to my bedroom door. He was close. He was met with a high-powered rifle until I saw his face. It was 4:00AM. That was 20 years ago.
To: savedbygrace
Stay low and send the dog out.
To: savedbygrace
Great! Don't mean to sound patronizing, just want you to be prepared.
Next... go buy a semo-auto hand gun! :)

BOzo has already shown us that the law of the land is non existent by his traitorous cabinet. So screw Bozo and ignore and gun laws dictated by this bunch of clowns.

Everyone in my family are trained shooters. However, for our own safety, I keep the defense pump with
magazine fully loaded and the action open (no round in the chamber). Practice. By the time you have it pointed at a target, you can have a round chambered and be ready to fire.
And, as has been pointed out, the sound of chambering that round may well scare any (sane) intruder away -- saving you much grief and trouble in the aftermath... (Remember, there is no "nice" way to shoot another human being.)
Also, you might check to see if your new shotgun's magazine's capacity is limited (due to hunting laws) by an inserted, removable (often wooden) "plug". Since you will be keeping the gun in the house, remove the plug, and stuff the magazine with as many rounds as it will hold. (Remember, you are starting "short" the one that would otherwise be in the chamber...)

It puts a tear in my eye knowing there are children learning an American right.

The dog usually sleeps in the hallway at night, sometimes in my office. Both locations could be in my line of fire from the bedroom, depending on circumstances.
We usually sleep with the BR door closed, as does my daughter, whose BR is next to my office at the opposite end of the hallway from our BR.
Those issues are what caused me to delay several months making this decision, worrying they could be in my LoF. (I’m assuming in the heat of the moment I might not hit center of mass, and some pellets could travel down the hallway.)

While I was away I thought of the just as important tool you should have - a good tactical style flashlight. I bet your friend remembers it just as clearly from 20 years ago too!

No worries. I didn’t take it as patronizing.
I need all the help I can get.

In all the old western movies and movies about colonial days, they’ve always got the loaded gun over the front door or over the fireplace.
Nowadays you need one by the front door and one by the back door. Don’t assume that you’re going to be in the bedroom when someone tries to break in.
I love the old old version of “Drums Along the Mohawk”. Especially the way the old granny handled the rifle when the Indians attacked.
Tough people founded this country.
Tough people will keep it free.
