+1 My wife asked me to teach her to shoot in case someone breaks in and I'm not home. I taught her to shoot the 410 from the hip. If the intruder is in the house, the range is not great. A gut shot from a 410 loaded with 4 shot will make anybody wet his tidy whities at 20 feet and my little wife can handle it well.
Better have a Pro teach you how to take out an intruder. You would be surprised at how many people cower after firing one shot, then go investigate and get killed by the intruder.
Unload, throw another clip in, unload again, then drag their body outside for the cops to deal with.
