[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2879895, member: 5412"] Shoot em in the face it will. Over penetration is a major issue in apartments. Two sheet rock walls with some insulation is typically the norm in most apartments from the next room that may contain kids or adults. IF you hit the intruder with the .45 or the buckshot, its not likely to be an issue, but a miss could be disastrous. You have a dilemma for sure. I've had #4 shot penetrate the 5" of a pheasant breast, but that's been at 20-30 yds. Shoot a person at point blank range with even heavy clothing at hallway distance, and they will certainly hesitate long enough for a second shot. I would doubt you would need a second. [/QUOTE]
