personally, if you get shot with anything; be it bird shot, target load, slugs or whatever, i dont think most intruders will stick around (if they are not on the ground) to see what else you could shoot out of your shotgun at them. And if they do they are eaither some dumbass MF'ers or really, really want whatever it is you have......
but no matter what rounds i may have on me, if it comes down to protecting my family and belongings, you can bet you will be recieving all 9 rounds in my 590 and then whatever other gun i grab as back up if it persists.
just like my dad told me when i deployed to afghanistan, dont trust those SOB's no matter what.
i didnt....caues its either you or me getting shot, and it sure as hell wasnt gonna be me!
