Oddly enough, I dont find that to be suspicious at all. I think much the same way concerning bad dudes/dudettes and my firearms. Luckily I live in a county were concern is very low when it come to worrying about loss of a firearm (even temporarily) over a justified shooting.

I have a 12 gauge under the bed with 00 Buck, which is for the event that all f'ing hell has broke loose.
For home defense I have a S&W SD9 in my nightstand loaded with Hornady Critical Defense 124 gr.
Just figured I would chime in!

Not to be a party pooper, but you can't buy ammo online and have it shipped to NY. You'll need a middle-man. Just sayin'.
The correct word is "shuriken". LOL
Ohh I know. Or do what others do and travel by car to our out of state neighbors and drop some decent coin there. This is just how our wonderful government is thinking they're smart.

That, thanks to our a$$hat "legislature" and "governor." It's a farkin' embarrassment, this totalitarian, Constitution-hating government we live under...
Thank God for the freedom-lovers in PA and OH...Sorry for the rant, and for thread-jacking my own post...
THIS!! ^^^ Civil disobedience is our moral obligation...

They just looked cool
LOL. I was thinking along the lines of hardened, pointy, carbon steel.

I'm so pissed off about this. I used to buy all my ammo online. Gun store prices were/are ridiculous here.
personally, I would never use a slug for a home defense round. Overkill, for a lack of a better word. I would use 00 for home defense in my Rem 870 tactical if I wanted to, but I prefer my 45 any day (Kimber Ultra Covert II) especially since it has a laser grip and shoots perfect. Just my choice though, as a 45 allows me to move silently, stay concealed and able to take quick action. Nothing like getting lit up with a laser on your chest. Very intimidating. Just like hearing the sound of a slide go into battery or the sound of a pump shotgun being armed.
For what's is worth though, no gun will be good for home defense if a person doesn't train and practice with it. That means you should be able to manipulate the weapon in darkness and the light, shooting it from various positions simulating areas in your house. What you do in practice will carry over into a real life situation. Being a retird LEO, I've understood that for years and use it when I teach a tactical carry class out here for those with their ccw. We also teach the use of shotguns for home defense during the same class to show limitations and advantages to each type of weapon. It's very eye opening.
As for what ammo to use, try several options listed in this thread. Do your own tests or see what others have found from their research. Every type of ammo I use whether it's for carry or hunting, I did my own research. Hornady Critical Defense ammo is good stuff. Either #4 or 00 is good to go for home defense. Just remember, there are 9 pellets in a 00 shell. That's 9 decent sized pellets to encapitate the threat.

My shotgun has Remington 00 buckshot in it. If you can find it in stock somewhere, they have a rebate going also. Buy the 100 round box and get $25 back (limit 2) which makes it cost friendly for buckshot.
