“After shooting the hostage, you would no longer have a hostage scenario” 😂

I use a .45 cal flintlock with a forty six inch barrel. Once fired indoors there is a heavy smoke screen that covers your position while you reload.

I know this is a joke, but after 33 years of local, state, and federal law enforcement experience, I am aware of multiple gun fights involving shotguns. Low, capacity, slow rate of fire, difficult to reload, high recoil, and long length are all mitigated by the one and done performance. That said a shotgun requires a great deal of training to use effectively. For that reason the FBI started fazing them out in favor of the M-4. As a FBI firearms instructor, I loved using the combat shotgun.

You may also mention how maneuvering in close quarters is enhanced by the 28” barrel. As you enter the next room, the intruder will likely see the barrel enter well ahead of you and will retreat in fear before you were ever able to lay eyes on him.

I can’t imagine how many people took this seriously 😂

I like a low-capacity weapon because I cannot count past 5, so keeping a round count low is VERY IMPORTANT to me ;). Great entertainment right here!

With 4 round capacity and FJB 2 warnings shots in the air, that leaves 2 rounds for maximum focus. Sounds like you're ready to run for office 🙂

"You won't have a hostage situation if you kill the hostage" Sun Tzu - art of war

It’s like watching the news. They tell you the exact opposite of what you need to know or what is right. 😂

Loved the old school military sarcasm. One of the things I miss most about serving.

Chadd's compulsive use of logical fallacies for his arguments is noteworthy.

Seriously, I needed this laugh. Top marks my friend! The "you no longer have a hostage scenario" line clinched the no.1 spot.

It took me until he said “magazine capacity” to realize this was a joke 😂😂😂

This is funny. Good job. 🤣 The shotgun is still best tool for many people to choose. Especially in restricted areas where you can’t have those scary pcc or ar type tools. If my choices where a 10 round 9mm pistol or an 8 shot pump that’s a very easy decision to go shotgun. Different tools for different people in different situations

You forgot another advantage to the shotgun. The jury will only give you 5 years in prison for using a shotgun in home defense but will give you 10-15 years in prison for using an AR in home defense

One other benefit, if you should have to clear your home, the barrel of the shotgun will enter the room two feet before you, frightening the bad guys away, as they will see the barrel and automatically know it’s a shotgun, especially if they are hard of hearing and missed the sound of chambering a round.

SEAL level Satire here…you guys excel at everything. Good stuff

Pistol rounds always immediately stop the attacker in their tracks so they can't run away or fight back. Double aught buck or slug to the thoracic cavity are easily the most survivable rounds. 😉

I fortunately have vaulted ceilings, so I count on a bullwhip. It has unlimited rounds

The good news is that POTUS said we only have to fire two shots in the air with a shotgun and everyone will run.

Thats why I stick to the SEEL approved combat sling shot. Works with any ammo from rocks to dog poop. Highly under rated.

The noise, while it deafens you the shooter and confuses loved ones woken from their peaceful slumber, is like the intimidating roar of a T-Rex to home intruders.

This is JP Sears level satire here… good job Chad 😂

How about a video of you running a home defense drill with a shotgun. Just for shiggles. An actual tactical shotgun, not uncle Jim's duck hunting gun with a 34" barrel. _(Remington M870 or Mossberg 590A1 style shotgun)_ It would be cool to see what you could do with a shotgun. Just say it was the only firearm available to you at the time. Then maybe run the same drill with the weapon of your choice to highlight the difference.

Knew this one was coming 😂😂😂 Never know when you'll have to defend your home from a flock of mallards 😂

Sir, you make very good points. I enjoy and highly respect your content. I believe a combat shotgun in the hands of a TRAINED person, loaded with OO/#1/#4 buck, with a pistol on the belt is an excellent option for self defense. Definitely a greater learning curve with the shotgun. One round of OO buck to the torso inside of 25 yards is a DOA, game over scenario for the recipient. If trained, you have the option to quickly load rubber ammo, birdshot or a slug which gives you a multitude of options for various scenarios. I don't know for a fact but believe that a shotgun inside of 25 yards will deliver the most trauma to human tissue than anything legally available. Thanks for your videos!

I think it's possible that the excruciatingly long time that it takes to load a shotgun for defensive use might qualify as premeditated murder.

I like the 4 round capacity cause that’s about all the ammo I can afford right now 😂

I love that KZfaq gives everyone a platform to post a video whether it is useful or not

It's crazy how many times I've heard people tell me that just the sound of cycling the action will make the threat turn tail in terror. Rule number 1 is never try to assume the state of mind, intention or ability of a person entering your home Uninvited. My go to is an AR with a dot and a light but something is better than nothing so you do you when it comes down to it. 🇺🇲

I’d rather be shot with a 5.56 or a 9mm over 9 00 buck pellets @1600fps

I mean, you could get a simple tube extender and it’ll fit like 8 or 9 shells. 😂

Agreed with all statements, funny video. However if one is going to choose a shotgun and has the financial ability, I would argue a proven semi auto such as a Benelli m4 (7+1+1 with ghost load) or Beretta 1301 (7+1) with a sling, light, and red dot firing a load such as flite control 00 buck would serve very well in a home defense role. I am not biased, I use a suppressed B&T apc9 Glock lower as my home defense firearm paired with a gen 4 Glock 19 cut for rmr as I’d prefer to not damage my family’s hearing. However it is important to note these are last priority behind exterior lighting, cameras, alarm system, dog, reinforced doors and locks. Whatever you choose, train with it. The pump 3 round bird gun is better than a baseball bat. Hope this helps someone.

I’m glad you came around, but seriously it is a formidable weapon in the right hands. 👍🇺🇸👍

Use Federal LE 127 or LE 132 with flite control wad and with inside the home distances you’ll have perfectly focused spread. You also have basically 9 rounds of 9mm hitting your assailant with one pull of the trigger, and an actual defensive shotgun has more (plenty of) capacity for home defense than your birding shotgun there Chadd.

Four rounds seems excessive in these times of recession. What am I rich?

But But, Joe said buy a shot gun and go outside and fire it twice and you would be safe.

I'm still using the shotgun over the PCC or pistol in a defensive gun fight. Each shot with the shotgun is something like 6-9 shots of that pistol.

Your sarcasm on spot. I keep a 12 ready. Not my 1st choice. 12 pushing 8 33 cal shot at 1200 feet per sec.also depend on your target’s. I like 30rd mag tools still got the 12ga ready for spl occasion.

You're right! Each one of those shells has 9-15 9mm equivalent pellets, so you're shooting 36-60 9mm rounds at an intruder with just 4 shells. And if you are using a semi auto with a 10 round capacity like mine, you have 90-150 9mm pellets that you're putting down range within seconds. Why would anyone use a PCC or handgun with their 30, 20 or less round capacity to protect your home. Not saying that they're useless. Just making the very logical observation that they work best as supporting platforms to a shotgun. I mean, can your PCC or pistol change calibers on the fly...like switching from buckshot to slugs? Exactly my point. Glad we both agree that shotguns are the best option.

It’s ok to admit that you were wrong about something. From my experience, shotguns are undeniably the best man stopper at close range. They are for sure not the only answer, but they are still a very viable option for certain applications like home defense.

How can you remain dead serious like that ?! :D Legend ! And so accurate "in the reverse mode"... Brilliant ! :D

Your absolutely correct plus you can use it as a club to beat with, a spear to stab with and you can smoke out of the barrel. A tools tool.

Whenever someone asks me what gun they should buy for home defense I recommend the Remington 870 pump action 12 gauge shotgun. It’s an inexpensive firearm that is extremely easy to use and it comes with the international sound of run.

“All you have to do is point it out the door and fire!” - Let’s go Brandon

Lower capacity = Lower weight too. Thank you for debunking your last shotgun video and being openminded enough to reassess the downfalls of that video. Can you do a video on how to conceal carry a shotgun ?

This is great. And very few are navy seals and almost no one walks knowingly into a gunfight. A home break in is not a gunfight. Yes with an AR platform, you will win, but you arent a meth addict. If you break into my house in the middle of the night, and somewhere around 100 x 00 buckshot pellets puts several large cavities in your body, you will stop - I promise. A 44 magnum will do the same thing, but requires greater accuracy. Your channel is great, thanks for all yall do.

oh Jesus Christ , I watched this video almost half way through thinking you were serious but couldn't understand why you would think that way . love it made my day

This totally make sense! Who needs high round count weapons when all you have to do is fire two blasts outside the house and any would be robbers will simply run off! -- Joe Brandon

Outstanding humor! Great way to start my day.

Everyone always shartin on the shotgun. Mossberg 590a1 with bayonet attached loaded 10+1 with soul snatching rounds well placed. And a good pistol when you run out. I FEEL PRETTY GOOD ABOUT MY ODDS. But i train hard with my shotguns over multiple diciplins. lol but I love your videos man keep up the good work.

LOL, the slow reload time gives the home owner time for a much needed coffee break. Best to get recharged in the middle of a battle! Excellent

The video is pretty funny. BUT a shot gun is a fight stopper in the right hands. Especially with some thing like flight control. They are like revolvers, requiring some skill but they still have a use. Which makes me think.... how about a similar video with a revolver??? Keep up the awesome work!

HAHAHA!!!! This was great! Chad you're a hoot! God bless you and the family!

I CAN NOT describe how much I LOVE Chadd!!😂😂😂 I was about 2 minutes into the video, scratching my head the whole time...then it hit me! 😂😂😂

I can't stop laughing. Chad, you should think about doing stand up comedy. I can't wait for the 3 sequel. Everybody needs a good laugh. Thank you!

Well done, Sir. Well done. This is a great response from your recent video. 😆

One squeeze of the trigger out of a 12 ga 00 buck puts 9 30 cal projectiles down range. Not only is that massively effective, but legally speaking you are way more justified. I challenge you to find an "over the counter" gun that has more stopping power in a single shot than a shotgun. I get it, in a fire fight you need mag capacity, but for home Invasion, I am grabbing a high capacity shotgun all day, especially if it is a KSG or box fed variant.

Hitting the hostage so you no longer have a hostage scenario…classic! Hilarious video.

I'm jumping back in the shotgun conversation . I know I'm one of the guys that Chad is making fun of , HAHA but that's alright he's still my favorite podcast . As Chad knows and has talked about when his team were picking weapons , you need to look at the distance your likely to engage someone and what type of background you have . It's definitely going to vary greatly . In my case the town I live in doesn't even have a traffic light so I have certain options to choose from . On two sides of my property I have about fifty yards and on the other two about a hundred yards . If I were shooting a 223 or 308 you could kill one of your neighbors , you could even shoot through the person your confronting and kill a neighbor . I have a Glock carry gun and a Glock 35 with a light on my nightstand . When I step outside I will have the Glock 35 along with my Mossberg 590M magazine fed 12 gauge . You can get , 5,10,15 or 20 round magazines for this weapon . A typical 12 gauge 00 2 &3/4 shell has eight or nine 30 caliber projectiles and they are very effective out to thirty yards or so and still pretty effective to fifty . I have several magazines and usually I have the ten round magazine in the weapon and it's loaded with 00 and slugs every other round the slugs are effective out to around a hundred yards . The slugs are 72 caliber and they will put the hurt on the bad guys . I used to own a HK91 that was selective fire so I do understand how good a AR 10 would be and that new Ruger 308 is looking really good . Now you guys can thank me if Chad makes another hilarious video . NUFF SAID

Hilarious. You had me for the first couple minutes😂!

LOL... This guy's sarcasm is a killer 🤣🤣🤣🤣

There are a lot of places in the world with strict gun laws where people have to use older technologies to defend themselves with.

What he failed to mention was the massive trauma caused by buckshot at close range and the fact that you are putting 9 or so rounds into your target for one pull of the trigger. Typically, home intruders that are shot by a handgun are found at the nearest emergency room. Intruders shot by rifle are typically found somewhere outside of the home. Intruders shot by 12 guage are typically found inside the dwelling. If you have to shoot someone you want them to immediately stop doing whatever it was that you shot them for and nothing does that more efficiently than a shotgun with proper ammunition selection. Also, do you live around bear? How is your local bear going to respond to a volley of 9mm as opposed to a well placed, quality slug? Get an 18" barrel 12 gauge 6 or 7 shot magazine with a short lop stock (13" for me), side saddle, tactical light, and an XS tritium big dot sight, load it with Federal LE tactical OO w/ flight control and some Federal LE tactical Truball deep penetrator slugs on the saddle and your in good shape. Don't forget to pattern your Federal flight control so you know exactly how small the spread is at varying distances. Don't take home defense lessons from Navy Seals, take advise from people who deal with the aftermath of home defense shootings like cops, fire/rescue, pathologists, trauma surgeons, coroners etc.

#5 - always choose a weapon nearly 5ft long for CQB so your enemy will be intimidated just by the sight of it. 😂

Absolutely love the tongue in cheek humor here! 😂 Sarcasm is definitely a fine art....

Too funny. Personally I prefer my 20 pound precision 22 practice rifle. On a tripod of course. Takes a little time to set up but I find most intruders are very polite if given the chance. Plus I feel like it would be cheating if I use my suppressed SBR which is set up for CQB.

Any navy seal will tell you that the best weapon for home defense is a belt fed full auto m82A1 to take out anyone that gets past the landmines in the garden

You forgot about the laser. Adding a laser to the shotgun will also help scare intruders off......

Oh boy, you had me going for a bit! I'm probably in the minority, but I still think a shotgun is the best solution for anyone with multiple household members or nearby neighbors. Those pistols are great, but it's the missed shots I'm worried about. Those bullets will penetrate multiple walls before they finally stop.

at first i said to myself " you must be joking". I quickly realized laughing what was going on!!!!! Nice video love your channel!! Only issue is all these pcc weapons owners will be going through complete hell with the new upcoming AFT ruling. I would say all the pcc mp5 type clone weapons id run not walk from them at the gun shop. Owning them is going to be a nightmare.

Something important to mention is, most people who rely on a shotgun for home defense have one with a much shorter barrel. This increases the spread of buckshot and would reduce the margin of error even more.

Oh my! I’m so glad that I trained with SEALs too, 43 years ago.

Sarcasm is not your strongest argument.

This video was hilarious. Well done Chadd Wright.

Great video…so much logic…I just sold all my handguns and AR15’s and consolidated into 1 Remington 870!

Thanks! Informative and entertaining💪

Nice. However, you forgot one of the main benefits of using a shotgun for home defense, and that is the TREMENDOUS amount of cleanup that you will get to do after using it. Plus the wife will get new carpet, furniture, walls painted, etc

You didn't cover how long the shotgun is. It allows you to stay in the same, unfortified position. It makes it too hard to shoot and move when you are in your tight quarters inside your home!

I knew I heard you say that “shot guns are for breaching!” Then I saw the title I was like WTH? This was entertaining 😂😂😂 thank you!

Hey Chadd, if you make a "don't die in the chair" sticker, I'll be buying several to pass out to those I feel have no reminder to never take a backward step.

I was just starting to think this guy was never a navy seal and then realized....Lets Go Brandon!!!!

Lol should have saved it for the first day of the fourth month of the year… Hey a Sig! All in all for my thoughts on your position, I think this is the clear stance to take if you have, not just a home, but property you have to defend, because the spread of the shell is not a huge concern in the range of a home. BUT, I think you make a fair point. Many of the so called “benefits” of a shotgun can be mimicked with most other calibers, and the weapons for those calibers are easier to aim. The classic Democrat myth of shotguns being the best home defense weapon is manipulative and from a position of ignorance.

Funny...I was so confused with the title of this video! So funny! Thanks for the laugh dude, I needed it!

Very entertaining. When my Dad was young he always used his shotgun for defense. One time when I was a kid my Dad had a wrecking yard and caught a couple guys in the yard late at night. They were already running when he fired a high arcing shot with his 12 gauge 3 inch magnum. Rained bb’s on them. They ran even faster and cleared a six foot fence like it was a short hurdle. Fortunately never had to confront anyone breaking in.

This is great you guys are hilarious- In true military fashion- love y’all. Go Army beat Navy

Love it. I do have a shotgun ready even though I'm in the country but several neighbors within 100yds to consider for ricochets/frozen ground etc.. 4legged critters are more likely than 2 legged... Not my only option though..😉

Daisy Slingshot…. Like Bart Simpson, followed up with my my Krusty The Clown laugh. I incorporate Sun Tzu while making the enemy think I am many. Works every time!

Love it! Swinging corners with a 28" barrel is the most proficient way to swing a corner! LOL

One of my most favorite videos of all time!!! Like you said- "Enough Said"!

I needed a good laugh today. Can you imagine if somebody that used a 5+ capacity 12 gauge with 9 pellet 00 had to reload first before they took the target down? R.I.P. all furniture and sheetrock LOL

Bro, you had me spitting out my water when you said you have to have the lowest amount of magazine capacity. You have to do more funny skits like this video. Happy New Year and God bless you.

At first I thought you lost your mind, then I finally caught on! Great video brother!! I was wondering, have you ever gotten your beard caught up in your charging. handle?? 🤣🤣🤣

Just for kicks make the last one in the magazine a super magnum to really do some damage

Hahahaha.. I love the sarcastically delivered period of instruction!

Lol, I get what you are saying. Just for most of us it is all we have or can afford. We are just being somewhat proficient with hunting equipment we can turn into a defense weapon. With that being said, works some what well.

All that without cracking a smile.

This is truly, one of the funniest videos I’ve seen in a long time!

I prefer the ol Brown Bess as the mere sight of me with it will incapacitate the intruders with laughter

When you figure that each shot from a shotgun fires approximately 4X the amount of lead than a 9mm, it's not really under capacity. I'm not under the delusion that I'm a navy seal or Charles Bronson. My scenario I envision is 3 guys busting down my front door, not a hostage situation. My dog would make sure I'm up long before someone was able to get to family members.
