This thief was stopped dead in his tracks when homeowner with AR-15 rained down on him

Actually you are wrong. People only shot handguns close to their body and hold them sideways in Movies.

Also not sure your logic on less likely to miss and hurt others in another room. Most handguns are not as accurate as an Ar-15 and many hand gun rounds penetrate drywall and wood much more easily than a .223 round

The better choice is a shotgun

Your aim does not have to be accurate and the pellets are much less likely to penetrate walls, especially exterior walls and hurt others.

he saw it on TV

What you actually agree with Joe Biden? Hell has frozen over

Where I get my information? Well......My best friend started his own security patrol business and is very successful here in my city. The people who work for him are all ex military and ex police - he is ex military himself. Police are trained to fire guns sideways from the chest in close quarters - not like the video you posted. His chief security guy is some former Army trainer and actually demonstrated one time when I was over his house how to clear rooms because I myself was curious what I need to do in the event someone breaks in my house. That is what he showed me, I'm not an expert but I assume this guy knows what he's doing.

When I was looking to buy a gun for home protection they actually dissuaded me from buying a shotgun and recommend I go with a hand gun. Like you I thought a shotgun would be better. We had this exact conversation.

So without the disparaging comments I disagree with you and I'll go with the experts on this

Here is his companys page (http://www.psicolumbus.com/) Let me know if you are interesting in franchising, he's selling.

A lot depends on the bullets you use in your gun. as far as penetration is concerned. Slugs from a shotgun will travel a long way after going through drywall. Many people are not proficient using a hand gun. You read about the drive by shootings in the hood. The truth be known is they just put a few rounds down range and hope they hit someone.... anybody.

Well yeah obviously.....I actually wanted something that is going to stop a person dead in their tracks but also not continue far into the house in multiple rooms especially with other family members around.
