Sorry but this is the worst advice ever. What if the intruder is on drugs, or drunk and too out of his mind to realize? What if he has a hearing problem? What if he doesn't care??

I've taken a few NRA instructor courses, one of them being for Personal Protection Inside of the Home, and we went into great detail about this subject. If you use lethal force, it is best to keep your mouth shut while being questioned by police until you have some time to clear your head and get your thoughts together (also getting a lawyer is a good idea). Too many people mistakenly talk themselves into handcuffs by simply saying something wrong that may warrant some type of guilt or lying etc. This being CA, the use of lethal force is extremely difficult to get away with!

And no, typically a shotgun is not the best weapon for home defense (debatable) because of its size, and spread pattern is fairly compact even down a hall. You must shoot to neutralize/stop the threat, never to injure or specifically to kill.

With all of that said, I have a Springfield 1911 w/ hollow points close by, and a Mossberg 500 close by as well, because you never know. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it, imo.

The fact that I have guns to help defend myself and my family if I truly needed to has nothing to do with your statement that I mentioned above. You don't want to assume anything in a scenario like that. To give people advice that they will be safe enough simply pumping a shotgun to scare away intruders/thieves is simply not a good idea.

Would I follow my advice as a way to attempt to scare off an unarmed thief who I did not intend to harm outright initially? Absolutely. At the end of the day I have a loaded shotgun in my hands, so you assuming he could be worse than "common" and could be "crazy" has me covered on both ends of the spectrum.

It is easy to criticize someone's ideas when you provide none yourself.
Please see above.

You have every right to react to any situation that you see best fit, but that does not mean that that is the best or smartest means to do so. In a conversation about life and death and the safety of others, if I do not feel that someone's advice is best, I will give my alternate opinion, as I did.

Not really. Just curious as to what's been done to his car. Hopefully he will actually post up instead of looking for a race. He certainly seems hell bent on racing a slower car. I'm just looking for some stats thats all.

2c5's, i am not looking for a race but you came off like a racer to me so i called you out, a 10.98 sec street car is not slow by all means, thats a pretty damn fast street car if you asked me, my old GN that i owned for 11 yrs ran 10.92 at 127mph with a 1.51 sixty foot and it was pretty much useless on the streets trying to launch it anywhere above 2psi which i learned how to do over the years, my turbo T has everything done to a 231 V6 motor, other than going to a stage II block which is 271 ci there is not much more I can do to it, with a stage motor and a conservative 22psi tune it would make easily over 800rwhp, the stage motor is a four bolt main and it has 14 bolt heads, the 231 is 2 bolts per main and only 8 bolts on the heads which is where they are weak, but with the right setup and right tune you can easily make them run low to mid 9's all day long and drive them on the streets.

Not a stage but its got an all billet bottom end with RJC girdle, standard bore, aluminum GN1R heads fully ported, full solid roller top end, and yes it does have the lastest and greatest XFI box installed, its forced fed by a 71mm DBB all billet precision hairdryer, custom headers, razers alky injection system, I could run as much as 26psi on pump and alky injection but right now its at a conservative tune running only 22psi and low timing, this little motor is amazing and it will rev up too 7,200 rpm with no problems at all without falling on its face like most turbo Buicks do on top end, not this one..

You stated it was terrible, bad advice, etc but provided none of your own, aside from neutralize which is very broad and simplistic (I got that covered).

The best or smartest means (which you have yet to state), please enlighten us.

We have different viewpoints and methods, I have stated mine, defended mine, you have done neither.

Have a nice day..
I was pointing out reasons for skepticism and a way for you to prove yourself right.

Why don't you stop crying and throw a 250 shot of nsx on your car; if the motor holds you might take him.
