OO, bird shot, flechette ammo? What do you have packed in your shotgun for home defense? Deep penetration or light so it doesn't go through walls?

Considering that my wife and I have no one else living with us my Mossberg stays loaded with 3" 00 buckshot (15 pellets). I realize that there will be some wall and structure damage but hope that the outcome will be one where I will survive to repair the damage.

1st out is a slug, topped with 6 rounds of '000' Buck. I guess I"m not playin' around.

birdshot is cheap and will still split a head open or strip flesh off your bones.

1st Shell is 3" Slug, the rest are 00 Buck. I realize there will be quite a mess and home remodeling involved, but I want no doubt about dropping the intruder.
