[QUOTE="Larry In OKC, post: 4069559, member: 44078"] Shooting under stress is a LOT different than a day at the range, and yes, you can miss with a shotgun, unless you're virtually at point blank range. Most home invaders are going to turn tail and run if they come face to face with an armed homeowner, and even bracing them with a 22, from their pespective, they're looking back at you like you have a 16" Howitzer in your hand. It all comes down to the element of surprise. Most home invaders that break into the average house are only looking for stuff to steal, not go to war with the homeowner. The elaborate high stakes invasions are the stuff movies are made of. The mere presence of an armed homeowner is usually enough to make them run away screaming like a little girl. 9 times out of 10, they aren't going to even try if they know somebody is home, and if they break into an unoccupied home, a firearm, any firearm is really a moot issue, isn't it?
