what kind of ammo should I buy for my mossberg 500 tactical persuader for home protection?

I do have concerns about shells hitting wrong target or other houses. Or pellets ricocheting on my face due to my doors material. (Had an attempted intrusion alread by a maniac who tried breaking down front door). I'm in California, if that matters. Thanks, folks. I'm a rookie with guns.

    I recommend that you buy low velocity 'tactical' shells. While they are lower velocity, they reduce over-penetration and actually cause more damage, provided that your target isn't wearing body armor. You won't have to worry as much about punching through your walls and injuring an innocent.

    Source(s): Trying out several different varieties of shotgun shells and reading anecdotal evidence.
