Hello all,
I was wondering the legality of using 12g pepper rounds like ones used in the video below for home defense as a less than lethal option. I live in Kent county, WA and had recently moved from CA where HD was pretty risky due to fear the criminal just might sue you.
...for home defense as a less than lethal option.
I have argued that with people so often I get tired of it. At self defense range........across a room.....bird shot hasn't even left the shot cup yet. It won't penetrate like buck shot or a slug but it is plenty lethal. True self defense is close, otherwise, you can get away if needed. Most houses are less than 50 feet at there longest point....and rooms are like 20. Not a lot of need for a weapon designed for a firefight at 100 yards. Even if a shooting judged legal doesn't protect you from civil liability and some civil prosecutor asking if it was really nessisary to kill an intruder. Buy shooting at a long range where it was questionable if you did your due diligence in protecting lives without taking one.Birdshot is pretty nasty at around 10'
Punches a big hole almost like a slug.
Won't penetrate multiple walls.
Most would rather use a SD load of one type or another, though.

Don't mistake a condiment, for a shotgun load.
