ESSENTIAL SHOTGUN - The Ultimate Home Defense Class! ($229)
Home Defense Specialty Class
The shotgun is the most commonly used home defense implement. In a home invasion, the shotgun makes it possible for you to dominate the area. When properly loaded, the 12-gauge shotgun provides the quickest way for a civilian to shoot an attacker 8 times. The shotgun is cheaper than most defensive firearms, and plenty effective. Come learn how to master this tool of self defense.
