I personally ascribe to the school of thought of using a lower powered cartridge with a more precise aim to defend what I care about. I'll still make someone into their aerated cheese of choice, but with more precise holes where they should be.

It’s not about “overkill” or whatnot, but I am very protective of my family. I wouldn’t want the intruder coming back. If they come back, sometimes, they could come back with their own self-defense, and that weapon could be yours, while he’s waiting for you or one of your family members to come home. I can’t have that. Plus, Minnesota has these weird intruder laws. We live next door to a judge and he’s told me all about them. That’s why I’m not giving the intruder a chance to run.

Aerated cheese, Xant? Nah, I’m going for full on melted fondue with no recovery time. That’s how I express my love for my family/home defense. 😂
