Uh...you don't have to be *as* "accurate" inside the house with a
shotgun as you do with a pistol. At inside the house distances of 5' to
10', for example, the shotgun is going to provide more ventilation to
the target than a 9 mm.

What's a typical shotgun's spread at 10'? An inch, maybe. Get out to
30-40', yes, you can spray and pray, but at close range, even with a riot
gun, you had better be accurate. I'm not denying the shotgun's stopping
power at close range, but quickly aiming and firing a shotgun in the
confines of a, say, bedroom, isn't as easy as most people think.


We might want to ask Dick Cheney. *He's* the expert on those sorts of
shots.
