Interestingly enough this discussion illustrates a lot of the arguments floating around every gun range and, for that matter every self defense class- Shotguns are good, but unwieldy, and you need two hands, which makes it hard to dial 911 while you are holding the weapon on the bad guy- and the "pump a shotty makes the Bad Guy's bowels turn to water" argument has been around for years- as has the pump gun VS semi auto one- I feel that whatever wilravel's politics, the argument he is supporting is considered valid by many defense experts, and is oft discussed... As to my .02, I have had a family member that did not have to shoot an intruder because the sound of a pump shotgun made them reconsider raping her ..... so I believe in its POTENTIAL to deter a criminal... though it does give away your position.......
