12ga pump shotgun=home defense.
20ga works well too...
Home defense=12 gauge for any engagement at 50 yards or less
No slugs, too much penetration. 00 buck shot, will fling any intruder across the room like a rag doll. Instant death. Anybody behind him would likely get knocked down as well.
A .308 (my favorite rifle caliber) has too much penetration, even if it's an hollow point, will go through an intruder and sheetrock like... well ...a bullet.
Allaroundhunter, you are correct there is no guarantee of instant death, but I think we can all agree that it would be better to hit an intruder with 15 pellets (51 grains each) simulteneously than one bullet (150 grains).

I have more confidence and practice with it than my 870 and I would like to start using it for home defense.
