Ok, break into my house and let me shoot you with birdshot from 10ft away and when the pellets only go 5.5 inches into your chest, let's see if you want to continue. I am not arguing that birdshot is better by any means. My home-defense Mossberg stays loaded with 00 Buck 24/7. But for someone with kids, or other home-occupants, not a bad idea and is still effective. Everyone's philosophy is different, but I have my plan. And as far as tactics go, it doesn't get more efficient that one shot to the head from a handgun. I really don't think there would be too much to explain there either.
