[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 3195191, member: 23"] Birdshot was mentioned earlier. I remember shortly after the “Make my Day Law” was enacted a burglar had broke into a house in Jones, OK and a little old lady was there by herself. When she heard the noise she picked up a double barrel shotgun loaded with birdshot and they met face to face in a narrow hallway. She gave him both barrels. When the cops arrived, they followed the blood trail through the hallway, out the window he came in through and found his body about twenty five feet from the house in the back yard. The DA ruled it justifiable homicide under the new law. I’ve experimented with birdshot and paper targets at close range. At a short distance [I], [/I]birdshot that hasn’t had time to spread out after leaving the barrel leaves a hole similar to a shotgun slug. For me, my critters would make noise. They raise a fuss over a lot of things. Mostly false alarms, but enough to wake me. My scenario considers entry into my house from different areas. I have pistols in several places throughout the house. My house isn’t that big and moving around with a long gun wouldn’t be practical. [/QUOTE]
