I have a neighbor whose house is relatively close, and I would hate to hurt any of those kids with stray buckshot, so I have opted instead for plain old #8 birdshot in my Winchester 1300 Defender. I have never had to use it for self-defense purposes (thankfully), but figure if the sound of a shell racking into the chamber doesn't eliminate the threat by making him run away, discharging it in his chest should make a pretty good mess of him and end it right then and there.
