With plenty of uncertainty and political turmoil, I've seen many people looking into guns for personal and community defense for the first time. So I'm making this post to help answer questions you may have!

I have 2 shotguns, a Mossberg Shockwave 12 gauge, and a Henry .410.

A lot of people will tell you a .410 isn't as useful, but it all depends on what you load it with. ๐Ÿ˜‰

For example, I'm set up with these:

Each trigger pull sends a slug and 2 ball bearings. So a gun that holds 5+1 rounds actually has 18 projectiles in it.

OTOH - The Shockwave goes "CLICK-CLACK!" and the sound alone could make an intruder shit themselves. Super satisfying on your end, super scary on the other end.
