I'll tell her if you want. Might be easier coming from a 3rd party.

I repelled a home invasion in college (lived in a house with 3 other guys) with a pump action Mossberg. Two dudes standing in the living room, looking around. I racked it in my bedroom, took the safety off, and stepped into the living room. One of them was holding something - knife or screwdriver - not sure which. Told them both to keep their hands up, and walk backwards out to the front door, or they would have truck sized holes in their torsos.

It got their attention, and they did as instructed. My roommate called the police while I was confronting them. I suppose I could have held them there and waited, but I really didn't want an escalated confrontation, and I really didn't want to blow a huge hole in either of them.

So, the moral is - Mossberg works.

Of course we all laughed about it later - me there in my tidy whiteys, acting like Clint Eastwood with a shotgun. My other roommates emerged, similarly clad, during the event. So, when the cops roll up, there's 4 dudes in their undies, one of which is holding a live shotgun, which he promptly surrendered to the police, outside on the front porch, in said tidies.

At least they let us put some clothes on before we had to give them reports and stuff.
