So I should remove the rat shot, is what you're saying.

I would. If you have to shoot someone because you are in fear for your life you shoot to "stop the threat". Sometimes that entails killing the individual. You are taking a chance by having rat shot being the first round. Have you seen the 21 foot rule drills (Tueller drills)? Rat shot would probably not neutralize a determinied individual. You would likely get off the first shot then there is a good chance the attacker will be upon you.
