most OO buck (which is .32 caliber) will fail to penetrate a (decent) car door fully
maybe 1 or 2 slips through but are very deformed and with little remaining energy

a slug should penetrate 4 or 5 of the same car door easily

Thanks GW. My firearms ignorance went down another point
Only 10000 points left to go

GW,
no worries, i have more firarms and ammunition then you have ever dreamed of. i do not need to kill people. A glaser in the belly most likely will ruin your dinner for a few months though. and i do not have to worry about the children being in the line of the exit wound. some of us worry about innocent bystanders.
in fact i have worried about you... let me know when you can change you signature line to "have rifle will defend 2000 meters of the border".

How about G-Hogs at 1800 meeters with a specialty pistol (ya I can dream, the guy that turned me onto LR Handgunning does it...)

Just a peek...

I can see just fine at 800 or 1800 yards, it's 18 inches that is beginning to give me trouble.

Interesting story:
Resident faces intruders with rifle, cell phone

When Ahwatukee Ryan Altieri heard knocking at the door of his quiet townhouse Monday evening he thought it might be a salesman.

Turns out it wasn't anything nearly as innocent.

At about 6:45, two men kicked in the door at Altieri's townhouse on Piedmont Road, near Guadalupe and 48th Street. Instead of an empty home, however, the intruders came face to face with Altieri - holding a cellphone and a rifle.




"I was in the bathroom when I thought I heard a knock," Altieri said. "They knocked for about three minutes, I guess trying to make sure nobody was home, then they started kicking the door in. So I got my cellphone and went into my bedroom and loaded my rifle."

Altieri, 27, said he was on the phone with the 911 operator when two intruders burst through the door. The intruders walked in on Altieri kneeling with his rifle trained on them and the cellphone at his ear.

"They saw me and started stuttering," Altieri said. "I said, 'One more step and you're done.'"

The men ran away, leaving their car behind. One suspect, a 17-year-old, was caught soon afterward. Police are still looking for the second intruder, a man believed to be in his 30s, according to Phoenix police Sgt. Leonard Pinuelas. Nothing was taken from the home.

Altieri said he has lived in the condo for about a year. He lives toward the rear of the complex, near Guadalupe Road and 48th Street, and described it as quiet.

He said he was surprised that anyone would try to break in at that time of day.

Altieri said that while he was glad he had his rifle to protect himself, he had hoped he didn't have to shoot the intruders.

"But you don't know what the hell is behind that door," he said.

what an idiot
He should have shot the sumbitches

never point a weapon at anything you don't intend to kill
never hesitate on the shot
God hates a coward

Like they won't do it again?

of course they did knock a while to make sure no one was home
even better reason to kill them

Can you live with the idea of shooting someone in cold blood? I know I can't.
If they had advanced he'd have had no choice, but they ran away.

I don't know how the law is in your state, but over here, shooting them when they were running away would have gotten you a murder charge.
