    I like #6 shot followed by 00 buck.
    Some 20ga shotguns have a smaller/lighter frame than the 12ga of the same model, so with a lighter load the felt recoil can still be similar to a 12 or even more with equivilant loads. So while a 20ga might fit better, it won't necessarily kick less.

    wow some of the comments here, tell me some of u don't even own guns. anyways just get a handgun with hollow tip bullets or frangible bullet. it shouldn't punch though to your neighbor.

    honestly though, the best "thing" for your neighbor is training. its not like video games where you shoot it and it goes there. accuracy is extremely hard with real life hand guns, your hands might be shaking, your might be breathing hard, etc.. of course if this is close range its really don't matter but still, at a training/class they will teach you how to hold a gun and think about the environment around you.

    The best thing that you can do in order not to put the neighbors at risk, is to hit the bad guy with the first shot.
    Out of every one hundred men they send us, ten should not even be here. Eighty will do nothing but serve as targets for the enemy. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, upon them depends our success in battle. But one, ah the one, he is a real warrior, and he will bring the others back from battle alive.

    Duty is the most sublime word in the English language. Do your duty in all things. You can not do more than your duty. You should never wish to do less than your duty.

    Michael Moore told us that you guys all live with your doors unlocked and nobody robs anyone in Canada.

    I chuckled when I read this.....

    There was no such thing as a video game when I was a kid and all of us learned to shoot with our parents and family.


    [edit]
    I'm trying to learn video game shooting to play with my son and to me it's much more difficult than hitting what I aim at in real life.

    your playing on a console, if you played on a keyboard and mouse you would rape your son and his friend.


    honestly it was a wake up call for me when i bought my first AR-15. I shot 90-100 bullets at a 2 foot by 2 foot paper, at range of 250-300 yards. I only hit it 3 times.
    i'm getting better but practicing is a bitch since i cost me and arm and a leg to use my AR-15, Oh yea OP get a 9mm
    9mm is the cheapest best size ammo.

    Cross bow will work too but drywall isn't going to stop a dart with a broadhead pulled at 300#

    i hope canada is not like in the USA... where if you shoot to defend, you can get in trouble or get sued until you are bankrupted . or if you shoot a person that is of different skin color or is a minority... u are a racist.
    Less chance, yes ... But when the stress of life or death is facing you, very few will remain calm.

    That's why you can read stories about a LEO shooting 20 rounds and not hitting the one who is shooting back at them.

    typically,
    Stress causes the body to react before the mind can be engaged.

    But you are absolutely correct about training lowering the chance of a mishap ... When the mind takes control of the body, and muscle memory kicks in amazing things can happen ... But when that scared $hitless, shaking in the boots, uncontrolled reaction is controlling things ... No one knows what might happen.

    Oh,
    And,
    You never shoot to defend ... You shoot to stop a threat that you feel will end your or a family members life ... Then you take responsibility for your decision.

    Gotta read more thread, before I comment to the OP.
    Let them keep thinking Ron Paul supporters are just a little army. Every military strategy manual in the world has examples of the bad things that happen to arrogant commanders of massive armies that underestimate the enemy. They all lose. We will win because the human heart, despite its detractors, is meant for truth and freedom.
