Just ask Joe Biden!
I've never heard that. Do people really think not aiming any gun in a self defense situation is a good idea
Do you live in the Alaskan wilderness? Or do you actually have neighbors within a hundred yards of your house?Interesting I keep mine loaded with slugs anyways I figured if 5 12 gauge slugs won't solve my problem I have a pretty big problem.
So funny, that is spot on what a lot of people actually say. LolYes. Everyone loves to espouse the superiority of the 12ga for home defense over all else, commonly citing two exceedingly awesome factors:
1) The slide-racking noise will scare people out of your house
2) You barely, if at all, need to aim the gun. Pointing it in the general direction will suffice, since it is, after all, a "scattergun".
Mistakes boobs make.that's why I only use a blunderbust filled with chain shot....
No, and no. But I don't use a shotgun loaded with slugs, they lose accuracy through the duckbill.Do you live in the Alaskan wilderness? Or do you actually have neighbors within a hundred yards of your house?

Did we really need the internet to determine this? I keep a Molotov cocktail and a NRA Ar15 grill lighter on my nightstand. In a small room I can hardly miss, it's just the backdraft I worry about.
BRUTAL INCAPACITATING CANNONS!?!?!If this becomes a thing, Mass will require LTCs for BICs.

I've never agreed with that slide racking story. I think it's movie nonsense.
I've never agreed with that slide racking story. I think it's movie nonsense. It only applies if you have a pump and why would you make that noise and give away your location? If you point the shotgun in the general direction and yank the trigger, you'll likely miss.
Sounds like you weren't paying attention. Joe specifically said to fire the two blasts "outside the house" so obviously you have to aim away from the house!I'm pretty sure when Joe advised me to get a shotgun for home defense, and fire two blasts, he didn't mention anything about aiming at anything.
