Two blasts! |
| Only time you fire a shotgun into the air is at the start of a shotgun start golf tournament. |
What goes up must come down. I had a high school classmate who was killed on New Year’s eve by a stray bullet shot into the air. |
Lol shooting a shot gun in the air won’t kill anyone |

I heard this on a podcast: If you keep a shotgun in the house for personal protection, you load it so that the first bullet out is bird shot, the second is buck shot. Bird shot won't kill anyone, its basically small pellets, but will, at least scare the person so that you hopefully don't have to pull the trigger again as buck shot will kill. |
This is ridiculous. If you fire a gun at someone you want to kill them. They are there to rape and murder your family. |
There are plenty of semi automatic shotguns. |
Seems pretty stupid to confront a home invader(s) with something that only holds two shots. What if there’s more than one home invader? What if you miss? Police use guns that hold 15-30 shots. And police typically operate with back up from other officers, multiplying forces. You’re not going to have back up from anyone - you’ll be facing potential rapists or killers alone. Why would you limit yourself to just two shots? That seems either really dumb or possibly mentally ill. Either way it’s not smart. |
Shot guns hold like 4-7 shots. Not nearly enough. |
| What neighborhood? I get that this was more of a rant than a useful post, but I’d really like to avoid the newbie with the shotgun. |

| A shotgun is less likely to go through multiple walls and kills someone, and is less likely to jam. That’s why it’s common for home defense. Holy moly, so much misinformation y’all throw out there. |
Edited to add, and kill someone innocent. |
Buckshot, one of the few shotgun loadings adequate for stopping assailants, will easily penetrate multiple layers of drywall or wood veneer paneling. It’s essentially the same as a group of 9 intermediate caliber pistol bullets all fired at once. It will certainly pass through walls intact. |
