Whatcha Packin'???

The shotgun is for defense - not offense. Most criminals do value their own life, which is evident by the frequency which they run from the police.

As far as the use of a pump shotgun for home defense, let us look at nature for examples of successful attacks. The lion, cheetah, dog and most animals all attack silently when they are successful. If the attacking animal announced their presence before the attack, would the attack be successful? Humans try to justify their actions and thoughts! That is why humans usually have rules or laws to guide their thoughts and actions. All humans have a basic instinct for survival. Some humans are more in touch with their survival instinct than others. The assumption that a pump shotgun chambering a round will deter an intruder is based on another assumption that the intruder values his or her life! There are humans that do not value any life at all! These are just my thoughts and ramblings on the subject. I sincerely hope that each of you does not find yourself in such a situation.

I agree. I would be willing to bet that the racking of a shotgun is one of the most recognizable sounds in the world.

This could work both ways....

Could scare off a wanna be thug or it could let some phsyco killer know exactly where you are.

I've had the privilege of firing a SAIGA 12 for a day about three years ago. It changed my mind about a pump shotgun. But I still have my pump shotgun handy though. sunrise

I will never shoot someone unless I am in fear for my life. And I will never point my gun at someone I don't intend to shoot. I like the idea of being able to scare someone away with the threat of being shot, but God forbid I am ever in the situation to have to defend my life, I don't want to have a moment of hesitation hoping to scare the threat away and end up being disarmed and killed instead.

I actually disagree on this. I think the best gun for home defense is a pump shotgun. When you "pump" it, the sound is sometimes enough to send the intruder running.

I know a lot of people get the super rambo mentality of wanting to blow the bad guy away and NOT wanting to simply scare him away. BUT, you gotta remember that some of these bad guys are packing level II and sometimes level III body armor and possibly better weaponry than your own.

I'll second the recommendation of the SAIGA 12S! It's sweet!
I would also recommend a good guard dog for home defense.
The dog is quicker!
