Gun me

[Maengelito]

I guess I don't get your stance. Buckshot is too dangerous if you have kids and neighbors, and birdshot isn't dangerous enough? I guess a shotgun is useless then for most situations?

Channing, what I was trying to get at, and did a terrible job of doing so, was this myth that buckshot for some reason doesn't go through walls, so a shotgun is the 'perfect' home defense weapon. People spew this line all the time and it's totally false. This is along the same lines as you "don't have to aim" a shotgun. You sure as hell do have to aim, and it sure as hell will go through a wall too. And the reason I said kids, is for what I said above. If a bad guy has your kid, you're not going to fire a shotgun, for fear of hitting your kid.

Obviously nothing is perfect and obviously all guns can kill you. The best solution would be a dog that shoot bees.

But barring that, a shotgun would be fine if you don't think a "hostage" situation is likely and if you think it is then a non-magnum handgun with *expanding* bullets.

Does my stance make sense now?

i think we can all agree that guns should not be used to install satellite tv in your house.

its kinda sad, but gets much more hilarious when you click the video of the news story and see the truck that the neighbor was interviewed in
