I'm in the 00 crowd. I live in a relatively urban area with neighbors on 3 sides. Despite that, I think 00 has the best overall performance for patterning and devestation for stopping an attack swiftly without the attacker suffering unnecessarily. My educated guess is that shooting to stop the threat, a few shots of buckshot will stop the threat within moments.
I also have slugs in the buttcuff/sidesaddle so it's available if needed.
For anyone who thinks birdshot is the way to go, I disagree. I believe birdshot will/can unnecessarily and painfully wound and disfigure a person. While it 'may' end the threat, it may not and a fight could go on for a long time. And I also imagine a scenario where the attacker escapes and pleads that he's a 'victim' and sues you. I don't want to be sitting in a courtroom as a civil suit defendant while a permanentaly disfigured, maimed and blinded sympathetic man tells a jury that he was just lost or cold and that's why he broke in to my house ... which we know would be a false accusation that he concocted a year later with the help of his lawyer.
