I recently moved into a house with my brother, and wish to use my 16 gauge double-barreled shotgun (with birdshot) for defense. My plan is to keep it on the dresser next to my bed, broken open. In the evening, I shall stick in a pair of shells, and remove them when I leave in the morning, as I don't want the gun used against me on returning home. I plan to hide the shells behind a curtain next to the gun. I enjoy shooting it, and shall practice every time I go to the range. I would appreciate any your commentary, suggestions, and advice on this setup, and how to practice (I've just been shooting at a box at 25 yards.)
