1. anything can be stolen and used for an evil purpose by someone else. 2. 7 weeks of law classes and you recommend someone to pump their mossberg to clear the house?!?!?!?!!!! In Missouri, that is called ESCALATION and if the bad guy pulls a gun on you to defend HIMSELF against your pumped Mossberg and then you shoot him - YOU GO TO JAIL. 3. Most cops I have spoken to have ALOT more respect for gun owners, maybe you've just run into alot of idiots (which is possible, although I have not). 4. shotguns are quite indescriminate and would rather stick with an AR carbine with telescoping stock which will not overpenetrate, you WILL hit your target and can be operated very handily even by my little wife. 5. you shoot people who are trying to kill you, not people making noise in the living room, even univited people at night. 6. "I am sure..." You're a cop. That's your job - dealing with the horrible shit that idiots and criminals do...but to transpose that onto MOST gun owners is unfair. 7. weapons are unsed in self-defense in the US about 2 million times per year - 99% of the time a shot is never fired. THe vast majority of these incidences are never reported, so YUO don't see that, but you should think about it...cuz otherwise you'd be picking up alot more dead bodies of innocent victims.
