I'm not trying to hijack this thread, BUT....



This is about the worst advice, and misinformation you can give out about defensive shooting.

First off.. racking a shotgun to "scare someone" in your home is a terrible idea for several reasons.
Then.....
Loading up with non lethal ammo??? Uhmmm no. Another terrible idea

The only time you should EVER shoot someone is if they are threatening your life, or others. You shoot to kill in that case, and non lethal ammo is a GREAT way to get your ass into a lengthy legal battle about injuring someone on purpose.

Home defense gun.....


IF you are not capable with a pistol, Get a shotgun WITH A SHOULDER stock, and a flashlight mounted on it. Load it with buckshot, and IF you find the need to "clear" your home, bring a cell phone with so you can call the cops.



Shooting someone is a total last resort because they are trying to KILL YOU.... NOT because they're in your home stealing your TV.
