The longest straight shot in the house is 24'. The longest back yard shot is 45'. The longest overall shot is from the driveway to the sidewalk/street and frankly if I shoot someone that far, things must have really gone EOTW wrong.

At the 7 ~ 16 yards I will be shooting, keeping 8 pellets of 00 inside 6" patterns is not an issue. A 12 guage just makes sense.

It I was in a more rural setting and property protection was an issue, I would keep a carbine handy. I live in urban Los Angeles. Form and function means my 870 is the one handy and my carbines and rifles are in the safe.

On the other hand, a slicked Marlin lever action carbine in .44 or .45LC makes for a decent house gun too. Just need to get a light mount for it....
