Mossberg 500

My wife has been after me for months to improve our home defense with a shotgun. Finally did it today at the gun show. Pistol-handled, pump action, 12 guage, Mossberg 500. My wife believes that mere sound of chambering the shell (ka-chunk) will scare off all but the most drugged-up burglar and the shotgun makes him or her hard to miss. So much for range practice with the Springfield and Glock handguns. No confidence in my skills with those, I guess.

I am grateful for her, though. Any guy should consider himself lucky when his wife wants him to buy another gun!

And she says she now feels safer in our (already safe) home.
