This video emphasizes the critical importance of using hollow point ammunition for concealed carry. Instructor John G. Johnson explains that responsible gun owners are accountable for their bullet's trajectory and terminal effects.

This video addresses the question of using a shotgun for home defense, particularly in apartment settings where collateral damage is a concern. The instructor highlights that while shotguns are effective at close range, slugs and larger buckshot loads can penetrate multiple walls. #4 Buckshot is presented as a compromise, offering significant stopping power while demonstrating reduced penetration through drywall compared to larger loads. Birdshot is generally discouraged for home defense due to its limited effectiveness.
