I have been debating this for a while. The 12ga pump has long been my primary Home defense gun.
I have 5 rounds of 00 in the tube with 5 slugs in the butt pouch. I always reasoned that if the BG was still fighting after the 00 then I would shoot through whatever he was hiding behind with the slugs.
My wife won't shoot the 12ga so I loaded up the M1 carbine for her with one 30rd mag and 2 15 rds mags in the butt pouch. After a few days of pondering on it I have moved the shotgun from the closet to the gun safe and hung the carbine in its place.
My reasoning is I have more fire power, I can chase a BG "through the walls" better. I don't think that the .30 carbine round will penatrate much more than a 00 buckshot round. Both me and my wife can use it.
Is this reasoning sound or should I go on thinking for a few more days?
