bedroom closet home protection plan
The 12gs I sleep with has a 24" slug barrel attached, shells are double oo buck in the tube. question is should I have the 24" turkey barrel with open choke on or will the slug barrel work just as well??
Re: bedroom closet home protection plan
I would be a little worried about the barrel being so tight to fire buckshot through it....being it is a slug barrel.... I have seen barrels before that has spilt at the end of a turkey choked gun that fired 000 buckshot thru it.

Why buckshot? Consider over-penetration in your home, as you cannot control where a badguy might be.
Try a couple tests with a load of steel BB and drywall. (please leave no garbage behind at your favorite shootin' hole).
At realistic defense-inside-your-home distances of two-to-six yards, that BB load will open to about 2-3" diameter, and will obliterate any live tissue even through denim and leather.

Stay with the slug barrel.

I have "00" in my 12 gauge "Lodge Broom".
But also taken into consideration is the 100 yards or so to the nearest neighbor.
Over penetration could harm an innocent, if I had close neighbors I would adjust the
shot size down .
A friend once had to put down a burglar in his gun store in the wee dark hours
of the morning, The Mossy 500 with the 2 3/4 " 12 gauge loaded with sixes did the
work at about 12 feet. He fired three shots ,one of which connected after the
really stupid thief stood up behind the counter with a pistola in each hand.
