Clint Smith knows a thing or two about weaponscraft, as he's been an instructor for 40yrs, and his take on home defense with a shotgun is worth paying attention to. He tells it like it is.

I tell you, as my age advances and my physical skills decline accordingly, my propensity for H2H conflict diminishes...I used to relish and look forward to displaying my Manliness in a confrontation, blowing some Home Invading perp clean out of their socks with a shotgun blast etc....not so much anymore....too much clean up and paper work...
I have developed a great appreciation for a good little dog as my primary first line of defense/warning...If I cant bravely scuttle off and am cornered, cant talk my way out of it, and forced into it...then OK, here comes old Mr Woody the axe handle! Hope you got good dental! Your teeth will be hitting the floor like a chicklet gumball machine explosion!
This little guy I got now? Lhasa Apso of some sort, inherited from poor old G'maw when she went into the nursing home...he doesnt think he is a dog at all, he thinks he is some sort of old pist off Human...Lhasas are a strange old breed intended to protect the Temples of Buddhist Monks way out in the lawless and mountainous hinterlands of the Himalayan valleys...Thats what they said on the Westminster Dog show anyway.... Sturdy compact little fellow, They have a shelf life of about 18yrs...
When people ask down at the dog park, I tell them he is a 'Miniature Mongolian Mastiff'....like some sort of fancy designer dog! Like a 'Labradoodle' or 'Peekypoo'.... Its pretty descriptive and accurate for my little guy though! 'Miniature Mongolian Mastiff'...Or 'MiniMoMa' if you will... He thinks and sounds a lot bigger than he is, fearless, territorial, always frosty 24/7...He has good ears and eyes and nose even, notices anything out of place or strange and alerts me...He dont eat a whole lot and is no trouble to clean up after, not like a big dog anyway...He dont bark for no reason either...
This is one tough dangerous Planet, a guy needs a good dog around...I cant imagine getting any kind of sleep without a good dog in the house...He dont look like much, and thats OK with me...He's got one purpose, and thats to have my six...He his not expected to do anything brave and attack/defend/ dial 911/ or save a drowning kid...Although I'm sure he would if it came to it...He thinks he is 10' tall and bullet proof, ....He likes to dress fancy and show off even, pick a fight against extreme odds for no reason...like I did when I was his age...
