I address a few issues with using a shotgun as a personal home defense tool, and it’s strong points as well. The limitations are not always talked about, but after putting a quarter of a century on the streets carrying a shotgun with me, I find that some folks do not know of or recognize these limitations and the liability that comes with them.

I picked up another shotgun, and decided to do a test shoot, whilst also addressing these tactical points for the homeowner who may not think about such things, but trust me these points are real, and should be taken into consideration when considering a shotgun for home defense.
