    That’s not an empty double barreled shotgun, fired twice in the air from his doorstep to frighten away any would-be intruders

      Anyone who fires live rounds into the air should be prosecuted for manslaughter. Gravity is real

        If you use birdshot, or any target shot, the individual pellets don’t have enough mass to really do anything, even at terminal velocity. Heck, Dick Cheney shot someone in the face at point blank range with it, and they we able to get on a podium and apologize to Cheney shortly afterwards.

        Slugs are a different story. Not sure about larger buck shot, some of those can be as heavy as a pistol round, but not really aerodynamic.

          One round rock salt, one bird shot, one buck shot, nothing bug slugs after that.

          Wikipedia says the range was 30-40 yards, and it was a 28-gauge shotgun. Shotguns don’t mess around.

            With shotguns, the higher the gauge, the less powerful the gun. That’s a ridiculously high gauge gun.

        You don’t seem to understand terminal velocity.
