HL,
Ever been at gunpoint or under threat? I have... I'll be the first to act (at least to date).
I have to disagree, a $500K lawsuit or a $200 laser as a first option, you be the judge. Hope you've paid up on the killing or wounding insurance. When I shoot, I shoot to kill. That will bring consequences, guaranteed!

PS: I will use the 870 as my first option but in a dead on hurry, a laser sighted handgun is my second choice, preferably .357 or .40
