Was he attacking you?

Well at first they thought he was a hen warm and willing........

Got about $175 in it. Started out as a Maverick 88 bird gun with a 28 inch vent rib barrel. Cut to 18 &1/2 home defense stick.

Back in the day, a semi was finicky to what loads worked best in it. A pump was not. Semis and ammo have come a long way since then

I would be happy with either a semi-auto or a pump action, if both seemed reliable. To each his own. I have seen more problems with semi-autos, so that does affect my point of view, but the sample size isn't enough for me to think it's universal. I have a plane jane utility shotgun that is semi-auto and it's cycled fine with what I have fed it.

I'm not making an argument for shotty vs other for home defense. This was a simply defense scattergun pic thread.

I'm simply surprised that the go-to for many is a pump. Which, by nature, requires two hands to operate. Not a great idea in a defensive state given that you could have an arm injured, need to be shuttling people around, moving obstacles etc. Your weapon requiring 2 hands to operate seems counterproductive, at best.

Shotguns suck for home defense. I use a bow and arrow.

Bow and arrow? Wussy! I use a sling shot with marbles. 🤣

This might give someone an aneurysm, but it was in my head.

That reminds me of a story that went a little something like this.

Me and my buddy use to get into pellet gun wars. One day all I had was a slingshot and some rocks when the war started.

After one medium sized rock got launched the war was over.

Hit my buddy in the knuckle of his right hand at around 30 yards. Thinking it broke his knuckle but he never got it seen by a doctor.
