re: What is your shotgun pellet preference for self defense?

I think I want a spreader round. Self defense in the home is close range. Shotgun shells need a little range to open up, otherwise bird shot is like a slug...

well, wick.. you fall under what i refer to as the, Larry Theory, my dad and i's good buddy and retired 35+ year Va game biologist who insists that shooting someone with .04 buckshot is,"like blasting someone with 17 .22 bullets!!1 And you can't tell me that is less effective in a home defense situation than .00 buchsot.."



this theory has been debated between us over a campfire while drinking beer many of times


And as much as i hate to give to the ol' boy, he is sorta right..
