Depends upon where you live; my family lives way out in the country. Lots of varmints both four legged and two legged and the 12ga pump with eight rounds is our first line of defense. Double ought mix with slugs.

20 gauge is what Joe Biden uses to shoot into the air when someone is trying to break into his house.

I used to use a youth model 870 20 gauge with a magazine extension which is full of No. 3 Buck. Very handy and perfectly suitable for home defense. Unfortunately I lost it in the great earthquake.

I refuse to read an article with a headline written in such poor English.

I can think of several reasons that shotguns of any variety are less desirable for home defense.

First of all is over-penetration. You want to avoid blasting through internal and external walls. A similar problem with high velocity or large calibers.

Second is barrel length. A long barrel can inhibit movement, make your actions obvious, and make aiming harder.

Third. In WWI, combat in the winding trenches was optimal with a pistol in one hand and a trench knife in the others, a combo that proved better than most others. And it has been noted that the narrow corridors of a residence are much like a trench with a ceiling. Over about 10 feet, the pistol works best; but if the enemy closes on you quickly to “smother” your pistol, you still are able to defend yourself with the knife (which in this case incorporated brass knuckles.)

However, once you leave the building, a shotgun is a far superior weapon, optimal for “backyard” ranges.

A 12 gauge proved too much for a little arthritis I have in my right wrist. Fortunately, I'm left handed. But there's no way I can fire a 12 gauge with just my left hand.

As a result, I have a nice Mossberg 20 gauge designed for home defense. Hope I never have to use it but confident if I do it will get the job done.

Yep, not much use for home defense. You guys can send all those old Parker, LC Smith and Fox twenty gauge double guns to me and I will dispose of them appropriately.

Mossberg 590 Shockwave. 12, 20 and 410.

Any thoughts on the .410 with 000 buck? 4 pellets in each round. Want my wife to not fear the recoil.

The 11 gauge with rock salt is useful for illiterate spammers.
