This review is from: Building the Ultimate Tactical 870 Shotgun (DVD)
This is a great little video for those of you who are interested in home defense. If you are one of these folks, you've probably come to all or at least some of these conclusions:
- a pistol or rifle are dangerous weapons for home defense - not to just the criminal but to the homeowner who can't hit the target with a tiny bullet in the dark ... once you miss a perp, you might as well start praying.
- there is real danger with a rifle or pistol to the kids sleeping in the next room who could be injured or killed when a stray bullet easily penetrates a wall and the same goes for the neighbors next door. A .357 Mag can easily penetrate your walls and your neighbors, leading to tragic consequences if an innocent human being gets in the way. A properly constructed self defense shotgun using the proper loads doesn't wreak this sort of havoc, but it surely will stop an intruder dead in his tracks and it's awfully hard to miss with this thing. (forget the guru's who tell you to use 00 buckshot ... you might just as well be firing multiple .38's)
- how do you know it's an intruder and not just your daughter coming home late from a date or your son who lives out of town just stopping in during a business trip that took him by his boyhood home? This video shows you how you can avoid this tragedy.
- the best defense is to have a working alarm system that will likely scare off any intruder as soon as it is set off. If you get a bad guy who keeps coming after hearing a blaring siren, you've got a real hard case and you will thank your God that you had the foresight to have a home defense weapon. The whole idea is to scare them off. If that doesn't work, plan B is to make the perp dead while keeping you and your family safe. If this last statement makes your heart flutter, think of this; what right does anybody have in your house without your invitation, especially in the middle of the night? Why are they there? For those of you who think this never happens, read the statistics.
This video answers these issues and then shows you how to easily build a tactical Remington 870 shotgun for home defense use. The author starts out with an inexpensive used gun and then converts it from a plain shotgun to a true defensive weapon. It's not hard to find a used 870 because this is very likely the most prolific shotgun ever produced (I'm guessing millions). It is inexpensive, reliable and easy to use. If you're not handy, you can buy a new tactical version of this gun for under $400 and then add the light mods and extra on-board ammo storage that the authors suggest. If you don't want to do any of the work, watching this video will help you with self defense techniques while showing you what a top notch defensive shotgun looks like so that when you talk to your gunsmith you can tell him exactly what you want. By the way, the author and presenter is a master gunsmith and knows his craft cold. You just couldn't get better advice on this subject. The subject matter is covered in a clear concise and logical fashion and the video quality is excellent.
I highly recommend this video to anyone who has an interest in self protection and I also think that this DVD should be on the shelf at every gun club in America.
Guns certainly aren't for everyone but remember, the Second Amendment is for all Americans ... you ARE the militia, especially when police help is precious minutes away (these days, it's often much longer). If you do chose to exercise your Constitutional rights, do your homework, get educated, get trained, buy the best equipment you can afford and then take control of your own safety. Hopefully, you'll never have to use all this for anything but peace of mind.
