I would only use my 870 if they came in my house, I have had a break-in, on the business end before, not something I want to be a part of again. My point being, there are several people I know that would have come out of their house with an 870. Not worth killing, with a shitty defense in court, don't think I would have won that one, if the case. But damn, maybe a couple broken legs or just chop off a hand, let the sh*t heads think about that.... Natural selection really needs to start working a little better.
