Perhaps you have some DOCUMENTED cases of people without a heart or spine surviving a shooting?
I am sarcastic by nature because I work in a highly stressful environment with thick skinned and sometimes skulled people. I guess I forget in the forums you cannot hear the tone and so you find it insulting rather than humourous.

Bird shot is out of its depth in a defensive application and always has been. The documented case that you keep referring to is an accidental shooting. It's unfortunate that you cannot see that you're championing a lemon of an idea here. So a guy accidentally kills his friend crossing a fence and that makes bird shot a viable self defense tool? Okay. You want to follow that up and say it doesn't over penetrate? Okay. Have a wonderful day and I truly wish you the best.
