A shotgun is not the best weapon for all jobs, but it as a capable and formidable home defense weapon. And if your knowledge of and experience with firearms has you believing you only need to point a shotgun in the general direction, how likely is it that a different type of firearm would be better employed in home defense?
Actually, the penetration tests on 00 buck show it penetrates drywall better than .223/5.56
