this, coming from the one fearmongering that buckshot's going to "blast your wife and dog along with the intruded then go with the shotgun with buckshot route"
and lolz @ the following:
4" spread at 12 feet (lolwut?!)
did you google this and fail to even read it? you just cited the MYTH, genius. holy shit, even after i pointed out how grossly ignorant you are about this (and after how you led with 'gun store employee said'), you're doubling-down on sheer idiocy.
at 12 feet, they saw groups of ~1"
"12 1.00 1.50 1.00"
even at 30 feet, they saw groups of roughly half your dumb claim:
"30 2.50 2.25 2.0"
whoa, 2.25"? obviously, that's going to shoot the intruder, your wife, dog, neighbor, cousin, school, nearby city...
lolz @ verifying your claim. this is an embarrassment and you're now in a pick your poison scenario. you're either full of shit or you're simply incompetent and likely should not have an armed security job.
lolz @ leather jacket.
lolz @ "cut corners," as if bullpup and short-barreled (and "firearm," aow, etc) shotguns don't exist. and while advocating a rifle or stockless pistol...
lolz @ "kicks like fuck." have you ever even shot one? and btw, since you CLEARLY don't know, there are plenty of loads with less velocity/recoil/etc.
lolz @ repeating the dumb fallacy that i'm advocating a shotgun. you are truly the master of reading.
