Erick, don't you read gun mags? No magic wands? Oh, man, next you'll tell me I have to train. Geez.

Who the heck is shooting rifles inside their homes?!?! I hope none of my neighbors are doing this or plan to.

Come one, guys. Rifle rounds (even short Russian) zip through drywall and always seek out stationwagons full of kids. While buckshot will go through walls or a sofa, it will be slowed once it gets outside your home.

If you do shoot even a .223 off inside little Johnny's bedroom, do not expect to be good for anything for a while. See Mattix.

The advantage in the shotgun lies in its limited range and tremendous power inside that range. If you have concerned with body-armoured BGs staging a Hollywood type attack on your ranch, you should: 1. leave, 2. get an M14 and hearing protection (you should also tell the neighbors to sleep inside their gun safes).
