All I own is a Mossberg 500 Tactical Special Purpose 20 Gauge 41" Shotgun. Only had to make use of it once, and I never even had to fire it.

We had an intruder in our house around 3am. All I did was dial 911, informed police there was an intruder in our home (downstairs) while I was upstairs. With 911 on the phone I announced I knew he was there, told him 911 was called, and I was armed...once he heard the ditinctive "chuck" of the shotgun coming from upstairs he left in quite a hurry.

Police got there about 5 minutes later. 911 let them know I was armed, I stayed upstairs and once they announced themselves and 911 confirmed that was them in my house I came down with my hands above my head and all was well.

BTW - another squad car caught the three punk ass thugs running down another alley about 3 blocks away.

I would have rather had it than not - cause these three thugs were known to beat up other homeowners in the pas during the break in's. I could handle one of them on my own, but I doubt three.

Nothing works better than the distinctive chuck of a shotgun.
