yes.
and a plain wood-stocked shorty - as long as it fits you and you are familiar with it - will work just as well (and probably better) at shooting home-invaders as this:
ironically the simple wood-stocked 870Ps have served police departments well for half a century.
so why set yourself up for legal headaches when you can avoid most of them by just picking a gun that wont cause all the sheeple to gasp and cringe in horror when the prosecutor inevitably holds it up in front of a courtroom.
(Imo. If you want to ban yourself from buying anything other than single shot wood duck guns, have at it.)
cause thats what im recommending, right?
were all (at least 'relatively', in Canada) free people so we can all do whatever we choose. i am just putting my opinion out there because
some people might not have realized that unlike the US, if you ever
do end up shooting a home invader the gun that you do it with is going to come under some
heavy scrutiny. in our country full of knee-jerk liberals who have heart palpitations at the sight of a pistol gripped shotgun - your gun, when it is held up as Exhibit A in front of a courtroom, will play a
huge part in how these people will perceive you.
so if some people didnt realise this - now they know, and can make their own choice based on their own priorities.
i am not saying DO NOT BUILD ZOMBIE GUNS - hell, theyre fun to build. but if you have to shoot a home invader you might be better off grabbing something a little more sheeple-friendly from your safe than the above pic. have fun explaining to the prosecution that you actually set up the above gun for the inevitable zombocalypse, and
not deliberately as a 'home defense' -- which is what the prosecution will be saying: that you build this with the
intent to shoot people and were chomping at the bit to do it. i can already hear the
'look at all these lights, lasers and pistol grips - there is no legitimate hunting purpose for such modifications'.
every time someone posts something like this, however, you get the gung-ho internet heros telling them that they are liberal pussies or somehow second-class gun owners. its easy to talk smack on the internet -- how many guys have posted here saying
'if the cops come to take my handguns away there is no way i am going to just hand them over'. uhh, yeah - you
will. when a half dozen RCMP officers in flak vests show up on your doorstep demanding that you hand them over, unless you are a complete moron you will comply.
its easy to talk %$#! on the net, but if you have a family and intend to keep your gun rights then you should take these kinds of things into consideration when making your choices. if you dont care about these things, thats
your choice -- neither of us is 'wrong' or 'right', we just have different priorities.
