Shotgun Basics

Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch covers the basics of shotguns. A shotgun can make a great option for home defense, where you are likely in close quarters and for many of us there is the real concern of over-penetration when you have kids on the other side of walls or neighbors nearby. As always, whatever you choose for home defense, make sure you know the basics of firearm safety and how to properly, safely and competently operate your weapon. A firearm you have never fired isn't going to be of much use in a life or death situation. Practice when you don't have to so you are ready when that time (hopefully never) comes.
