I've read the Box of Truth, which has me rethinking the bird shot.

I also lost count of how many times I've read about guys dying on Turkey hunts from friendly fire, although Dick Cheney's friend made it through..

I also have a friend who works trauma in the ER and has described what a birdshot wound from close range looks like and if someone still is coming after that, I am in trouble.

I still am under the impression that at 15 yards or less, which is almost anywhere I would be involved in my house, there won't be too much spread from birdshot.

My decision would be a lot easier if the most important thing in my life didn't sleep in such a non strategic location and the thought of overpenetration didn't weigh so heavily.
