you may think so, but how many times have you fired when in that state? ZERO. and buckshot (in a LEGAL) shotgun is going to be a far better repellent, and more likely to hit the perp.

If you can't trust your ability to shoot straight and compensate by buying a gun with a bigger spread, I sure as hell hope I'm not around come time for you to shoot.
i hope you're not too.
fact of the matter is, everyone is going to have different preferences. i prefer to know that when i shoot, it's not going to go through the perp or the walls into other rooms. if there is someone (that i don't want shot) behind the perp, i'm not shooting anything. i will wait until i have a cleaner shot and a better tactical advantage.
