[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 2111938, member: 27991"] Anyplace easily accessible is good. Pointing a loaded gun at your wife is probably NOT the best idea. My number 1 reccommendation would be to RELOAD. Do not use 00 buckshot, too much penetration; use a heavy load of 7 1/2, 8 or 9 shot. As Dr. Red Duke says, ".... like straining his innerds through a screen and even I'm not good enough to put that back together." I reloaded some 12 ga 3" with 1 3/4 of 7 1/2 at 1160 fps, at 20 feet it's a 20" circle cloud of hornets that will not fully penetrate the sheetrock on both sides. For wife's training loaded them down to 7/8 oz at 1125. She's comfortable with the operation and recoil of the shotgun (Remington 870, 18" barrel, no choke, 8 shot magazine (Yes, VP she needs 8shots, not 2, overkill is not overkill, it's preparedness) adn when the SHTF, the added recoil of the full loads will be negated by adrenaline. Just 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
