A short barrel shotgun with 00 or #1 buckshot is the best overall firearm you can have for home defense.


Just don't miss, or you might kill your sister in the next room.

I agree that a short barreled shotgun is excellent for home defense. Just choose your shells wisely for your particular situation.

I just never heard of police and DAs not having the discretion to say “nope, reason to arrest here.” I’ve never heard of a requirement that DAs present something to a grand jury. Usually it’s in their discretion to even do that.

On a clearly justified killing, the D.A. will recommend a no-bill, but they still have to present it and let the GJ make that determination. It's just a formality, but I think it's a necessary check and balance.

Is that a Texas state law?

I’m aware that a grand jury will do whatever the DA wants it to do.

Shouldn’t the deaths of home invasion perps in red states be labeled suicides?

Gonzalez said the case will be presented to a grand jury.

This is why the Kyle Rittenhouse case was so important. Your basic human rights are eroded daily.

Not that I could find in the CCP, but it's a matter of practice. In doing this for 25 years, I've never seen a homicide NOT go to the Grand Jury, no matter how clear-cut.

Applause to the young man for protecting himself and the other occupants of the home.
