Very, very good points made by some of you. The gun has to be locked by law, so the chances of gettin your keys, it unlocked and ready to roll in the dark quietly while shattin in your pants is a tough, tough thing to do. believe me, had to try when we lived in good ole Q-town. The points about the projectile moving through walls and hitting unintended targets is so true. Unless you're an expert marksman with a pistol or rifle, not recomended. If it is a must, as short a 12 gauge with a pistol grip and light on it loaded with 00 buck or bird shot is the way to go. No sling as it is something to hang up on shat with. One blast and the perp is neutralized and you'd need new kitchen cabinets.
Mossberg 500 (cheap) or Winchester 1300 defender (expensive) (stainless so it won't rust while collectin dust in the closet). The point about an auto loader vs pump is very vaild, but don't know of very many autos with short barrels.
The most important thing is that if you absoluetly need to use it, make sure it is justified and the job is complete. Dead people can't talk or sue you. And don't say anything, I mean ANYTHING to the police until after you confer with an attorney. You just shot someone and you are now the bad guy.
Glad to see there is another new person interested in partaking in our God given right to bear arms.
