TAMARA KEEL: “Can you kill a dude with birdshot from a 12ga? You sure can. Most of the cops I know can tell at least one story of some bad guy laying in a spreading puddle, having had a rathole chewed through his middle by a close-range blast from a low-brass #7.5 target load. But when I say ‘close range,’ I’m talking three to ten feet from the muzzle. Which is damned near gun-grab distance in a long-gun fight.”
