Episode 50 – “Daddy Get Your Shotgun!”

Shotguns are one of the most versatile weapons you can own.  In my opinion, every family should have one.  Even if you live in an area where handguns are not allowed, shotguns probably are.  They are one of the most formidable man stoppers inside of 25 yards that are commonly available and affordable.  In this episode I discuss the advantages and disadvantages of shotguns, their usefulness and what to watch out for when adding accessories, etc.

Highights:

  • Gauge, what do you select?
  • Ammo, what type?
  • Barrel, how long?
  • Stock, should stock vs. pistol grip.
  • Action type – pump, semi auto, double barrel.
  • Shooting slugs.
  • Brands of shotguns.
  • What to look for in your first shotgun.
  • Is yours a dedicated self defense shotgun?
  • and more….

Resources:  Clint Smith, Remington’s Masterpiece

LET ME ADD:  The very idea of being able to chamber a round and the “chunk chunk” sound of the pump shotgun being enough to make the bad guy pee his pants and run away…is preposterous!  That’s a myth that simply isn’t true.  If the bad guy is stung out on drugs, a noise certainly isn’t going to stop him.  So consider that fact that you will likely have to shoot your shotgun, no matter what action type it is.

Episode 36 – Ammo and The Consequences of The Use of Deadly Force

Selecting the right ammo to use in your handgun is a challenge.  As you’ve heard me mention, I like Corbon DPX, but there are many good loads out there.  A listener emailed me a question and asked me my opinion on using reloaded ammo, so this episode is partially dedicated to answer that question.  I also play an audio clip of Massad Ayoob on The Judicious Use of Force.  I thought it would be appropriate because the ammo discussion plays right into how careful you have to be when carrying a gun.

Before listening to this podcast, I suggest you go to my survival website and listen to Episode 48 – Don’t Talk to The Police.  It goes along with this message.

Highlights:

  • When should you use reloaded ammunition?
  • Does it help you or hurt you in self defense?
  • Is it legal?
  • What does using handloaded ammunition do to your gun’s warranty?
  • How ammo prices have persuaded many to reload.
  • Why I don’t recommend that you use reloaded ammo for self defense.
  • How vitally important it is that we know our responsibility and the gravity of carrying a gun for self defense.
  • What are the legal consequences of you using your gun?
