for home security I strongly agree, go with the pump and buckshot. It is much safer than having a stray round going through the sheet-rock. Sure it may make a bit of a mess but you can clean it up.

I am not so sure of the M1911 but then again if you hit someone it will probably stop them in their tracks even if they are wearing body armor.

A bit off of the track no one has mentioned the fact that movies and video games have increasingly featured more and more gratuitous violence.

I refused to let my 8 year old see the first Batman Movie in '89. In the end the kid next door (who turned out to be quite the little psychopath) mother got it for him so he saw it over there. I was fucking pissed when I found that out but my wife said I shouldn't bawl out the dismal feminine part who allowed it to happen.
