I am looking for a firearm for self-defense. I am going to be going to the shooting range in a couple weeks to find something that works best for me. I've heard some say the shotgun because of the spray pattern, however that seems a little slow considering you have to pump the action.
One thing to consider is how far your bullets/shot will go before resting. You don't want to kill someone other than an intruder by having the shot go through drywall. I went out to a web site that shows how bullets and shot goes through several different layers of drywall. Check it out. It's called the Box O' Truth:
