Thanks, Keith, I find it very upsetting that maniacs somewhere wanted to kill my wife....

Shotguns are excellent at CQ stuff because of the massive amounts of energy they can dump into a target, combined with a large frontal area. Kinda like a soft lead wadcutter of 73 caliber at 1000 FPS+.

Always figured that if I got to go fishing in Alaska, an 870 mix loaded with Brennekes and slugs
would be a great takealong....
