    Remember. If you discharge a firearm. It will most likely get impounded.
    This brings up a question. After a home defense situation and the police wanting to impound your weapon, what if you just said 'No, you are not going to take my home defensive weapon'. What are they going to do? Assuming that your home defensive situation was legit and you are not a suspect in a crime.

    A few months ago, there was that case where the guy was walking up to his front door and a bad guy came up behind him. He then turned around and started shooting but did not hit anybody. The police wanted to confiscate his gun and he flat out said NO. As far as I know, he never turned it over. He did end up losing his CCW but I can't remember any other details.

      They'll arrest you for PC 148 for obstructing, delaying, or resisting them in the discourse of their official duties. Police have authority to seize evidence with probable cause without a warrant.

      What do you think was going to happen? Are you going to ask next "what would happen if the cops want to arrest me and I don't want to be arrested?"

        Which one should I assemble and place in my bedroom for things that go bump in the night?

          Really? It was a simple question and you provided a simple answer. Thank you. And then you continued with a stupid question that didn't have anything to do with my question.

            The Remington 870 would be the general pick by most but dang I really love the Winchester 1300 Defenders. On slickness and speed of there slide action alone I give the 1300 the edge. They are under appreciated I feel and under valued. I have no history or range time with the newest versions but man any of the earlier shiny blued /hardwood stocked Defenders even some synthetic stocked model made in the states are tough to beat.

              Whichever one holds more shells?
              I'm partial to Mossberg, but if the Remington is clean and slick, a little mag extension wouldn't hurt and should be available for cheap.

              I don't think I've ever run a Winchester 1300, but I think the Stevens 320 is a Winchester clone. I have a Stevens 350 that I love, but it's a Chinese Ithaca 37 clone.

                I'll disagree.

                Unlike the Kardashians, my longest shot- my back to the wall to the front door is short.


                Buckshot expands around 1" per meter

                So flight control in my place is the same as shooting a slug.

                I'll take the 5-8" pattern inside my place.

                If you are shooting 20+ yards, then mine still hits

                Some of the flight control might be a 7" pattern at 20 yards.



                ---
                That's why many of use have patterned the boom stick so we know where it will pattern at in home distance.



                If in so cal, I'm happy to join you on a range day with boom sticks.
                Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

                Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

                Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

                Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT
