A shotgun is an excellent weapon for up close and personal work against a “single” bad guy. If there is more than one bad guy you have a problem. Also when in up close and personal range the spread of the shot pattern is very small and the chances of missing the bad guy are about the same as a rifle. At a distance the spread is greater but it probably would not inflict a fatal wound unless using buckshot. The use of buckshot increases the chances of missing the bad guy as you have fewer pellets as opposed to bird shot.

I like the idea of a 30 round magazine in my AR-15. I live in a rural area. If you are breaking in my house it means that you have killed my dog (that will really piss me off) and disabled my alarm system. That means you intend grievous and perhaps fatal harm to me and my wife.

I would hope not to have a gun battle in my home but will if there is no alternative. If possible I will flee my home with my wife and weapon, as there are more than one exit from my home. I will then be in the dark with an AR-15 and a green laser sight zeroed for 50 yards. The bad guys life is then forfeit.

This is Texas and it is legal.

Have a plan, know what to do and do it.

ps
If shotguns are so damn good why does Joe Biden’s Secret Service Detail carry full auto rifles and semi-auto pistols both with high capacity magazines. His team also has snipers armed with “I think” weapons firing a 300 Remington Win Mag.

“If it is good enough for Joe it is good enough for me.”
