jnix:
"Popin felons" inside your house is one thing. Some guy breaking into your truck hardly constitutes any immediate danger to you or your family. So I don't think shooting said guy would be legal or ethical. This is the kind of stuff antis love. A shotgun blast in the air in town probably isn't legal either, but would get better results than shooting the guy.
As to the original question:
More details would need to be known in order to make a proper choice of weapons. A shotgun is a mighty scary thing to be looking down the wrong end of, even at 50 yards or so. Of course if I'm trying to save a cop at 200 yards I'd rather have my .270.

bullet placement is gun control
