I was at the range today, and saw for the first time ever the size of hole that a shotgun slug leaves in a sheet of paper. Most impressive. I've got an 870 full of 00 buck, but I might have to put a couple of slugs in the bottom of the magazine.

A shotgun is an excellent home defense weapon. You can usually get a perps attention with the sound of a slide jacking a shell into the pipe.

Then his family sues for wrongful death and wants even more. We need tort reform. Any judge should throw this out and make the plaintiff pay for every penny of the defendants legals fees, no matter how much they cost.

Amen, Bro!  Even though I have rifles and pistols, my bedside buddy is my .410 "snake charmer" loaded with 3" shells with #2 shot.  I don't plan to scare or wound them...I plan to kill them with a single shot to center chest.  It's awful hard for medical staff to stitch up hamburger meat.
