As in say the intruder is between you and your family members… if ya shoot at the intruder you are going to pepper your family too. I would also assume that bird/buck shot would go right through half inch sheetrock and hollow walls too, so if your kids room is off to the left or right you might be hitting them too. if your shooting a slug theres a good chance of it going straight through someone and still being lethal, buckshot and bird shot dont scatter how people say they do, in a house if your shooting a target more than 7 yards away from you that would be considered far, and even then the spread of the shot is nowhere near as wide as a torso, if you miss with buck or bird shot it might go through a wall, if you miss with a slug its more than likely going through a couple of rooms. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2013-federal-assault-weapons-ban/265858)._
