At typical in the house distances, the shotgun will pretty much kill or at least drop the perp with one shot if I hit his body between the shoulders and the groin. .... Assuming the perp doesn't take it away from you. I still never understood why they think an untrained person trying to maneuver over 2 feet of gun around in the confines of a house is better than a handgun. I do understand they are harder hitting, if you actually hit anything. There certainly is not going to be much of a pattern at typical home distances, even with an 18" cylinder bore. It is all academic in Maryland anyway. If you shoot someone, you are probably going to jail. It is an "obligation to retreat" state, even inside your home. You are legally obligated to run away, it there is any chance at all of you having a way out. In that regard a single shot .22 may be as good as an M60 because you have to justify every round from scratch. Oh and don't get too carried away defending yourself with your bare hands. Each punch is the same way. The first punch may be self defense but the second could be aggravated assault .... or murder. I know a guy who found that out the hard way. |
