[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will get my gun first. Won’t hesitate to shoot. [/quote]

so you'd like go down stairs and shoot them proactively?  If they were on their way out the door with 3 ipads they'd grabbed from your counter...would you still shoot them?  or is it more if they started coming to where you were you'd shoot them?  some people seem so eager for an excuse to shoot someone when most burglars are just taking the $1000 uppababy out of the garage to resell and aren't armed or a threat to you[/quote]

I would wait in our upstairs hallway. To get to the kids room or the master, you have to go up the stairs. If you line prone in the hallway, you would have a very easy shot before the burglar knows what is happening and with buckshot at short range, accuracy is not really an issue [/quote]

Have you ever patterned your shotgun with “buckshot at close range?”  Because the pattern from buckshot (or any other load) from a 28 inch skeet gun with a choked barrel will open very little at indoor range. Even an 18 inch “riot gun” with an improved cylinder will be very tight at that range. Television and movies aside, shotguns do not spew pellets all over the place. They still need to be aimed.
