I live alone. A sawed off shotgun loaded with 00 buckshot should pretty much cover the hallway.

Yes I also oppose laws dictating barrel length in the home.

You last point is important. Because most people, FReepers included, watch movies (and play games) and tend to think a short barrelled shotty is "can't miss" in close quarters. Truth is, the shortest commercially and legal barrelled shotgun has about a 4" to 5" AT BEST pattern at 20' loaded with 00 buckshot.

Don't get me wrong. I'm a big fan of the tactical (if not modified) 12 guage home defense shotty with 00 buckshot. But I don't rely on a "pray and spray" tactic to employ its potential.
