Make sure to have ammunition appropriate to your environment. 00 buck is perfect for rural homes, #4 buck is better suited to neighborhoods where collateral damage is a concern. Make sure to have some bird loads for drones, but use caution when shooting in, around, or toward populated areas. Be advised, hollow point slugs are not effective against armor, nor is any kind of shotgun load. And be warned, the instant you fire that thing indoors, you won't be able to hear anything for a minute. Hearing protection can help, if you have time to put it on. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] Horsecook@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 months ago* [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 1 point 6 months ago I urge people to look into LoRa based motion sensors. Not as good as direct wired but better than WiFi due to range. This will give you the moment you need to get ready. permalink fedilink source parent [–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago I’m okay with a shotgun. Blowing someone who just illegally entered my home back out the way they can sans lots of innards sets a precedent. permalink fedilink source parent
