What #8 birdshot does to a common ****l door.
What 00 Buckshot does to a door.
from the operator of the website, an ex-lawman and gun enthusiast;
"Lessons learned:
1. ****l front doors provide concealment, not cover. (For those that might not understand the difference, "concealment" means it will hide you and "cover" means that it will stop bullets)
2. Don't think a ****l door will slow down any common round. It only stopped birdshot, which is a very poor penetrator."
If a bad guy is doing something that warrants pulling a gun on him, I'm not shooting him with a bean bag. This isn't 'Ma and Pa Kettle' scaring off varmints with rocksalt. If you feel someone is enough of a threat to pull a gun on them, esp in your home, you shoot to STOP the threat, not piss him off or hurt him or make him feel bad.
