I think they make excellent home defence weapons because you don't have to worry about it going through the walls and killing someone. You can put 8 shells in the 590, they don't jam, and you can empty them really quick. The slightly larger spray pattern certianly doesn't hurt; every bit helps.

God willing the sound of you racking a shell will be enough to send the burgler running for the nearest window.

But before I ever considered keeping anything loaded by the bed I would take a bunch of classes and realy know how to handle it.
