Yeah if he wants to sink his ship. I could see one of those starting the house a fire like Waco.
Today's dumb idea: salt-impregnated birdshot?

Because the salt would put it over the top for an intruder peppered with a bunch of .24 to .36 diameter holes?

It will obviously make all of those puncture wounds and temporary cavities sting like crazy. Take the fight out of anybody.

If you're going to do this right, you need to disassemble a 00 buckshot shell, drill a cavity in each pellet and then pack each pellet with a granule of rock salt or two. Then wax it each drilled pellet off and reassemble the shotgun shell.
Why is this not common knowledge?

Where's the beef?
When shot, the wax melts and sets the rock salt free. Genius!
Is this really what the MD shooters community is? People insulting a newbie for asking a question to make themselves feel a little bigger?
And so I don't sound like y'all, here's more info about rock salt in a shotgun from Box O' Truth:

No, that's really what this thread is.
The OP knew and said it was stupid in the first post. Most of us quickly agreed. Not sure how that's insulting.
The shells loaded with only rock salt were a product of later conversation and nobody really cares about rock salted shotgun shells since we've become grown-ups anyway.
The thing that most of us think about here is that this (self defense) subject has definitive answers and anything except real anti-personnel loads, like real bullets in real guns, are ineffective and can get one killed. Even real bullets in real guns don't always work. This has been very widely
Much the same with that asinine 'warning shot' crap, which took an admittedly stupid idea and moved it to the next level. Most people have no concept of violence and how fast bad things can happen, and that 'warning shot' thing with 'less lethal' loads is like something we'd see on the Hallmark Channel.
Post #3 respectfully spells this out, says what goes without saying, following posts then reinforce these well-known concepts, and yet, the OP is still talking about ******** novelty loads (instead of real bullets in real guns) in post #11. Ask and ye shall receive.
Beyond that, the thread digressed to good-natured joking around, because that's about what this thread was worth: joking around.
Lighten up, look around, get to know the place, and you'll recognize a pattern:
People wanting help get help, people pushing stupid ideas get stupid treatment. Happens all the time.

If you got thin skin, this is not for the forum for you.
The "search" feature is your friend.
You have missed the numerous threads where the organization of your shells in your shotgun should be in a specific order. Everybody has their own preference.
As an example:
1st #8 buckshot
2nd #00 buckshot
3rd 1 1/4 oz slug
4th #00 buckshot
5th 1 1/4 oz slug
Or any other manner. To accomplish your goal.
Yeah, I appreciated the earlier posts for OP. You and I and lots here know, and teaching newbies who have been misled by media is a good thing. But some later posts were pretty eye roll worthy, like an adult bragging about how much more they know than a child.
Just disappointed that this is the kind of post that gets pushed out to email, making all us owners look like they're compensating for something.
There's an email? I'm not being a smartass, I don't know what you're referring to.
Just buy rock salt loads?

In case they are running away you need those slugs for the longer ranges.

I get an email every so often "Sent on behalf of MDShooters by Threadloom" which lists "Highlighted posts".
My previous loadout was a joke. Forgot the emoji.
My actual loadout is #0 or#1 buck (can't remember) in a youth model 870 20ga. 8+1 with extension. Now I'll have to wait until I get home to verify...
Interesting. I had no idea the board did that. Must be some automated feature.
I used to get emails when I got a PM, I don't anymore.
