I don't care if you want to use #5 shot as a home defense weapon. I'm simply trying to provide fact based information to the OP and others who are trying to find an effective home defense load. As soon as you can find some sort of fact-based defense for using birdshot for self-defense, I welcome your addition to the discussion. But your post above is the equivalent of asking someone "Do you want to be slapped in the face?" and, when they say no, determinig that open-hand slapping is an effective deterrant against a determined attacker.
