Why SxS versus O/U, pump or SA?

It's obvious. Read OP's post. New to guns and shooting, with a cautious lady at home.
The simplicity and approach-ability of a coach gun make it ideal. An Over/under would also work, but typically too long for home defense.

ChrisS, unfortunately you are going to get a wild range of terrible advice on the internet , especially regarding firearms. Most internet gun people think the biggest caliber/gauge you can shoulder before bone begins to snap, is the "ideal" choice. They will also tell you it must hold as many rounds as possible, with extra detachable shell holders, red-dot sights, and folding/collapsing/telescoping/elevator accessories as an absolute must.

I've seen some of the fastest cowboy action shooters use nothing but a "coach gun." the simplicity and exceptional handling of a Side-by-Side (SxS) shotgun make it very fast and effective with training.
At self defense ranges, there's only a small difference between 20g and 12g buckshot, in terms of power and penetration.

* MAKE SURE you use "00 Buckshot" for home defense. Birdshot is not sufficient, unless you want the first shot as a warning/semi-lethal. But, if you only have 2 shots... I'd keep "00" in there.

Zombie shotgun, SHTF shotgun, beater shotgun, WROL shotgun, spare shotgun

I’m curious in what world “zombie” != “SHTF”.

Fake news

Inside the home, from room distance, its all the same.

Now, outside if your defending your property, then please run 00 or slugs

Zombies are real.  They have existed forever.

Fixed it for you.

ChrisS... see what I mean? Lots of stupid out there.

Nope.  If my or my families life is in danger I'm taking the shot.  You?  Are a pussy

Well @Bighungry618 that new beretta is pretty badass. MrsZ needs an upper and her glock needs stuff. If I didn’t have 2 11/87 I’d look into it Hard and strong like.

always a bigger fish in life

It's only prison time if you chase the home Invader out of your home and into the street and shoot them. If you happen to be doing yard work and get attacked by somebody while you're raking leaves and you are carrying and you shoot them no prison time.

[voyager9 3,434]

Siding with Ray on this one. NJ Castle law  says that you must try to remove yourself from the situation if safe to do so. You are not required to leave your house. Certainly if outside the assumption will be that this could happen more easily. If your family is in danger then this would not apply even if outside

[Ray Ray 3,566]

Even if I was wrong, and your family is depending on you to save them, your gonna do it.  Unless your @DTtuner, then you watch them die because you didn't want to go to jail.

I don’t wanna dissuade @DTtunerhere. I’d prefer to educate.

if your life  (or family)is in jeopardy, ergo imminent threat of death or egregious bodily harm you have the right to defend yourself with deadly force.

now if someone is stealing your lawn mower or car, and your life is not in jeopardy. No go

This is correct. The use of force continuim .  No threat, no force.

 

@High Exposure will probably beat me with a stick for missing sumtin 

[Zeke 5,504]

Watch @Bighungry618 get that new beretta and be badass. Summabitch.

[DTtuner 21]

Bravo! Thank you for proving all my points about the stupidity of internet gun guru's quickly and efficiently.
This went from a person looking for help, to watermelon meme's, pussy's, and my family dying as I watched on.
As per usual, shining examples of pathetic, childish behavior by the known clowns of this forum.
NJGF has sunken really really low in the past few years.

ChrisS, try your luck somewhere else. There is no intelligence to be found here.

Use of force is not a continuum.

You don’t have to progress through each lower use of force before advancing to a higher level.

You have to use the lowest amount of force that is reasonable to accomplish your lawful objective.

See Graham v Connor and Tennessee v Garner for relevant case law on this.

 

 

[Ray Ray 3,566]

Complains about name calling when he started it.  

Sucks to be wrong, but be a bigger man and say okay I was wrong.  No, instead you complain.
