1. In my 16 years of being in the military and police I never saw any one "fall to the floor" on the racking of a shotgun. Doing this just to send a message to the bad guy, where you are and what you have. Why do this ? It is counter to common sence and every training I have ever had. Supprise is everything.
2. A handgun bullet may miss, so may a shotgun charge. A shotgun can easy blow through 2 sheets of sheetrock. I am curious about your statement "In the dark of the night you may not hit your target". Misses happen in daylight, if it is to dark to see your target why are you shooting ? How can you tell it is a threat if you can't see it ? You could easly be shooting your college kid that decided to supprise you and come home for the weekend.
3 Frangable bullets in defense shootings are almost a complete unknown. For the house gun I will stick with a 9mm Glock shooting 124 grain hollow point +P+. At 1250 fps it approaches 357 mag performance. I am not going to worry about reloading. If I can't settle it with in 17 rounds I probably can't settle it.
4 A shot gun is cheaper ? Not always, I like semiautos, what happens if you get shot in the hand and can't work the pump ? . What difference does price make anyway ? Because it is cheaper dosen't mean it is better. Sometimes you may want to hide the pistol and you can by sliding it under your belt behind your back, try that with a shotgun.
5 Always use the minimum force necessary, never shoot to kill. I haven't read every states laws reguarding Castle or Presumption but most start out by saying you get to shoot, then give a bunch of examples of when you can't.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
