Years ago we had an old house here on the ranch. Before we tore it down, I wandered around the inside wearing my Civil Defense helmet and armed with a bagfull of buck & birdshot and my Ithaca pumpgun. I shot from this angle and that, thru the walls, floors, doors etc.

A charge of 00 would go through the drywall ceiling, Tamarack/Western Larch flooring of the upstairs room, stick in the roof planks but not go through the metal roofing. It would go through an inside wall and the next room {unless being stopped when hitting a stud}, but stop in the outside wall on the other side, except...

Some individual pellets would do interesting things. Maybe they rode the wake of others before them, I don't know, but sometimes a pellet would penetrate when it didn't make sense for it to do so.

I reckon I lost a little hearing but gained a little appreciation for the use of buckshot indoors.

What are the Rosary, the Cross or the Crucifix other than tools to help maintain the fortress of our faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God?
