I love the way this forum can be so educational. Now I need to learn what snakeshot is, semi wad cutters, hollowpoints I think I know, and shotgun primers backwards totally has me scratching my head.

I think Dogfish subscribes to the "any job worth doing, is worth doing well" school of thought. But it poses greater risk to the new house.

So how many seconds in a home intrusion scenario? I remember reading something by a Marine guy about a so many second or so many feet rule - like a guy coming at you with a knife leaves you so many seconds within so many feet of distance for you to identify a bad guy, draw your weapon, aim, and fire accurately enough to stop said bad guy before he stabs you with the pig sticker. As interesting as it was, I seem to have forgotten the important details, except that being armed doesn't ensure being protected.
