If you arrive at that tiniest of probabilities, that you actually have to shoot them, hoping he will change his thoughts is suicidal. You better put him down as fast as possible. I recommend double ought, if you are going to use a shotgun.
Ballistic personal defense weapons work by penetration. You will NOT get penetration from bird shot.
Y'all trying to figure out how to keep a weapon that works by penetration from penetrating is a strange errand.
