270,
There is an error in that article and the author's idea that #4 buck fired inside a house, will not penetrate an interior wall, it will sail right through it if its sheet rock. As a matter of fact # 7 1/2 will put a good many shot through both sides. The safest gun in a house is a shotgun with say #9 or smaller shot, it makes a big nasty hole, full of shot, and is least likely to penetrate into other rooms through walls. We did tests on this at the range, and it still penetrates sometimes, depending on distance from the wall. Oh, yes in a house the distances are real short for a shotgun and with a shot cup, shot does not spread much, if at all, shot is like a slug at a distance of about 15 feet. So it is still a know what is beyond your target deal. Ed
