One inch per foot is the typical spread on birdshot through a modified choke, and while you don't have to be quite as precise as with a rifle or handgun, you still have to point it very close to center of mass to incapacitate an attacker. Buck will stay pretty much inside the same circle, but what you absolutely have to do if you plan to have a home defense gun is to take it to the range and pattern it so you know what to expect.

If you have a gun for defense, you are, for the purposes of this discussion, planning to shoot someone. If you're not going to shoot, all a gun is good for is escalating the situation and increasing your chance of being shot.

This is MY advice, because you seem not to be too familiar with guns....

Funny that you should say that, I was thinking the same thing about you based on the recommendation above.
