This is geared towards fighting off home invasion. Obviously if someone stalks you, lays in ambush, and surprises you...there really is nothing to effectively fight that off. In general, women are at a disadvantage against men in a physical fight.

It should already be loaded and if you fire off 8 rounds at close quarters at 1-2 assailants and that was not enough, you have bigger problems than capacity or loading speed.

Okay...explain that to the jury. When you are put on the stand and ask if you were in imminent, life threatening danger...what do you say? Did the attacker lunge at you? Did the attacker have a weapon? You were standing 15 feet away...out of grabbing range...could you not have said something? Given a warning? …

I don't understand your argument. So you admit the shotgun does have the best stopping power but not if people miss? Is that not true of anything? Baseball bat, rifle, dart?

For most women, it is just not a fair fight. At 5'8" 175 pounds I have a 1155 power lifting total (425 squat, 455 deadlift, 275 bench press). Despite only being a green belt with 6 months of training, it was child's play for me to beat the woman black belt (everyone rolls with everyone). Her 4+ years of experience…

You can look at the research of JHP done by the FBI...they don't expand over 50% of the time and behave like normal ball until they hit something solid, like bone.

The spread is about the size of an open hand or more at 10-15 yards out. Okay...you have a baseball bat, I have a shotgun. Who walks away?

Stopping power. A shotgun shoots about an open hand sized spread of 9mm sized buckhot with lethality up 15-20 yards. One shot will incapacitate most people. That is not the case with handguns or rifles. Just do an inter web search on cops shooting people 20+ time before the fire fight ends. When fighting a home…

I would say that at the point that somebody grabs you, you are already in trouble. Any defense you can devise falls apart if you 1) Don't have the weapon (see bat) in your hand 2) Are caught by surprise. Also, don't use a long barreled shotgun for home defense. Use a 16" defensive shotgun. You can buy the ones the…

1. Don't fire shots into the air. Fire them at the attacker.

No. Shotguns are the best close quarter firearm and the best firearm that can be effectively used with limited training.

Not really. You have to swing a bat. Next time stand in your house with a bat and start swinging. How many times will you hit the wall or ceiling? Remember, you may not get to choose where you confront your attacker at night. Shotgun is the best close quarters fire arm. It shoots a spread, does not have to be…

Never give a warning shot. Shoot them dead then put a bullet in the ceiling. Dead people can't sue or give conflicting testimony. LE can't tell which shot came first. So the narrative becomes, "I fired a warning shot but they kept coming at me!" Say nothing to LE without first consulting a lawyer on anything but…

The most interesting part of the article for me was that women were the ones selecting against themselves. I have always seen it as a red flag when a woman tells me she does not get along with other women and only has guy friends. Of course the 50% of the population that wants to sex you up is going to be nicer and…

I have found that being an insufferable prick is the best defense against be set up.

I am late to the discussion but thought I would add this after reading many of the comments.

Whenever someone uses menfolk or ladyfolk, I always think of Firefly. Am I the only one?

My real issue with this is who enforces this law and how? Everyday I see some story about a 4th grader who made pew pew noises arrested and charged with a felony. Kids fight sometimes. Kids call each other names (I believe the lingo is 'trash talk'). This is normal behavior and different from someone…

All I am getting from this is that being a complete douche bag pays off. The woman in the picture is aesthetically pleasing (to put it mildly) and he is, well, less than aesthetically pleasing (and a horrible human being to boot). This is why guys act like assholes. Women have sexy time with assholes (I present the…
