I have #4 birdshot in my Mossberg because my bedroom is at one end of the house and both my kids is at the other on the other side of the stairs so I’m concerned about the interior walls between us. People diss birdshot but I don’t know anyone who wants to get hit by it.. also, if someone is coming up the stairs in my house and I hit them with bird shot and they keep coming I will do the same as I would if I had an AR or was using buckshot or an elephant rifle, I’d pull the trigger again.

[@aeredhaelredfalen6194]

I live in an apartment, so I keep #5 birdshot in one of mine, with buck in the other. The Mossberg 500A with 00 buck is for if I have to deal with anyone trying to break in my door. Narrow hallway, and my backstop on the other side of the door is a short stretch of parking lot backed by a tall hill. But inside, I will be reaching for the Mossberg Maverick 88 loaded with #5 birdshot. Don't want to harm my neighbors.

First line of defense, properly reinforced security door and door. The time it takes to get through the first security door gives you time to aquire and ready for use whatever your Second line of defense may be. Most doors come down in a few seconds as they are built around a weak door frame.

IMO the first line of defense is at your property line. A fence and some "no trespassing" or "beware of dog" signs will make it clear that your house will not be a cakewalk. Second line of defense is your doors and windows (and the alarm system, if you have one). Third line of defense is YOU.

[@chuckbradley5389]

My first line of defense has always been a couple of extremely protective dogs. They have always served me two ways, as a possible deterrent and an early warning alarm. But properly securing doors and deadbolts will definitely add advantage points to the home owner.

[@drewsmithson6665]

Not recommended. Length, weight, capacity. All issues. Plus let's hope you don't forget to pump in an emergency. I'd move to a semi auto if you had to have a shotgun for home defense. But generally speaking, I would say to evaluate and pick an AR15 instead. .223 rounds tend to break up hitting not people. Plus the weight/length/capacity is so much better. 30 rounds vs 3-6 in a shotgun. Maybe a pistol caliber AR. .45 ACP or 9mm. Something smaller, lighter, more bullets. But you still get the penetration /carried energy issue through walls.

[@Code3forever]

For home defense and using a 12 gauge pump, I have always used number 4 buck so that there is not over penetration into neighborhood housing. Everybody has their preferences but like Jerry said, we are all responsible for every round fired from our guns. I have also heard #4 Shot is good for inside the home but then you never know when you may have to run outside. Hopefully none of us never have to get involved in a situation like this but with things happening in the world like they are this minute, you just never know and should be prepared. Having a .380, 9MM, .38 Special or similar caliber handgun is probably a good idea if you have it with you everywhere in your home. Some people believe that is silly but when a home invasion takes place, it is fast and within seconds someone could be inside your home and you are at their mercy unarmed. Things can and will change if some people become desperate and have no respect for others. Cities and towns are full of those people too....
