Picked up a 12 GA. over the weekend primarily for to use as my home protection gun. For the shotgun folks, what is your opinion on the best ammo for home protection? I see so much back and forth on buck shot vs. bird shot with a lot of people saying bird shot isn't enough, but great if you live in an apartment where over penetration is a concern. I live in a house so I'm thinking buck shot, but not sure which one? 00 Buck, #4 buck, etc... I'm leaning toward #4 buck. Curious if anyone has any other opinions/suggestions?
