Gun for just in the home?

I'd skip that single shot. What if there is 2 or 3 jabronies?

Woman? 20 gauge pump.

Man? Should probobly think 12 gauge pump.

Bird shot & some big old buckshot.

EVERYONE knows the sound of pump action being worked - AND FEARS IT.

Another thing that is so important is that in today's lawyer-happy society, you best know the laws about shooting someone in your home BEFORE pulling the trigger.
