I have the following scenario in mind:
I might get close to my home and find it attacked or a burgler etc on the ground. I am far more than 20yds away and need a gun to intervene. I wouldn't use my Glock 19 on such long distances. I want to keep a gun for this scenario in my trunk. What - and why would you prefer:
- a semiauto 12" shotgun (Winchester X2, pic below), or
- a semiauto .223 Rem. rifle (OA-15, pic below), or
- a bolt action .308 Win. rifle (Steyr Scout, pic below), or
- my personal favourite rifle, the Steyr SSG 04 (pic below), or
- another fine Austrian gun, the Steyr Elite?
Or do you have any other ideas/suggestions?
PS: By the way, how long is the striking distance of a shotgun (without endangering innocent bystanders)? Sorry if the question might sound stupid. I am a pistolero and have no clue about shotguns.
