Guess she didn't hit them or anyone but scared them off at least.

I guess she stopped the threat.

 

They found the wrong home to try to break down a door at 12:10 a.m

Good for her...I can't help but wonder exactly where the buckshot (or whatever was in the shotgun) went to??? :)

 

I think she is also a bit fortunate that 1) she didn't hit anyone she shouldn't have and 2) that she wasn't charged like the former marine in Oregon was recently...maybe the DA's office in Knoxville is a little more practical about such things!

I almost bet the bird shot didn't get though the door or was seriously slowed.

 

Yes, very fortunate that the wrong people were not hit.

Oh I see a new marketing strategy for hornady since the whole zombie thing is going kaput.

I see what you are getting at, but I believe I will stick with Winchester pdx1

Only if it is 10mm, anything less won't penetrate summer clothing ;)

You beat me to it. 

 

Any idea what kind of shotgun this is?

Looks like an old Stevens, but I wouldn't bet more than a cheeseburger on it

It looks a lot like the first shotgun my Dad bought me (as opposed to letting me use one of his!)...mine was a Savage...I think we paid about $35 for it at a department chain store local to Ohio called "Buckeye Mart". :)
