[QUOTE="SpeedymanWCC, post: 2999154, member: 121149"] For home defense get a semi-auto 12 gauge defense shotgun. Load it with birdshot to mame and buckshot to kill. You don't have to be precise with your aim to be effective. Under a severely stressful home invasion you won't be precise. If you don't hit center mass, you may still get a couple of pellets into the robber. More than likely you and the perpetrator will **** yourselves when you "squeeze" the trigger on the 12 gauge and unleash the huge fireball and defening blast inside of the house or apartment.
