Skipper, you guys have only spoken of hand guns for defensive purposes. Are
shotguns not suited to the purpose? Could you give me some pro's and cons
for each type of weapon? Can/could/should a shotgun be fitted with a laser
beam? I'm thinking you could shine the laser in his eyes to blind him long
enough for you to flip the lights on and identify him before you decide to
puree his vital organs. Let me know what you think.

Iron sights do not.

What in the hell are you trying to say? Read what you posted again.

None of us *expect* to be put into life threatening situations by
intruders to our homes...but it does happen. Perhaps the best time to
think about your best course of action should that happen is *before*
the perp enters your home. First, the laser is a great persuader that
has the potential of defusing the situation without firing a shot. That
really is the best resolution. Second, the laser dot allows you to take
aim from many body positions, while iron sights require the shooter to
expose his head while taking aim. Third, the cost of adding laser sights
to a defensive weapon in minuscule when measured against you life. One
can think of laser sights as being cheap life insurance and an
investment in avoiding legal fees.

The laser sights give new meaning to the term, shooting from the hip.
Accurate results can result from that position...laser assisted. Again,
no one expects to be placed in a position to protect your life and
property with a gun, but it does happen, and it's best to be properly
prepared.
