Even a little 410 shotgun with a Rifled Slug will do serious shit, yeah.
No pattern, it's a rifle at that point of course more or less, but that is the point of Buckshot to begin with.
I still have a couple .357 Magnums with Hollow Points I keep around personally for that use.
.410 has significantly more muzzle energy than the .45. It may be historically used for smaller critters, but need not be. There are slugs and "defense" loads, which seem like they'd be extremely unpleasant to be hit with: http://www.theboxotruth.com/the-box-o-truth-53-the-taurus-judge-revisited/A 410 is great for small critters. Not sure I'd use it for defense ever though. My defense gun remains my .45 Dan Wesson, with the intent being to have a new receiver put on my M1 Carbine (it has a junky Ermas one right now with metal that doesn't test well in hardness) and I'll have more or less a .357 rifle my fiance can easily use.

This is why you need a gun or two, just in case = http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Ar...301146361.html?_osource=SocialFlowFB_DFWBrand
Good job, home owner.
I could probably count the number of times I've seen someone open carry here in PA on one hand. (really it's probably more, but it's certainly rare)I actually saw someone open carrying today. Some kid, early 20s, in Walmart had what looked like a Glock 19 or G23 in a holster on his belt. It's the first time I've ever seen anyone open carry here in Colorado. Maybe I just don't get out that much.
Great news: State Department OKs M1 Garand rifles from Korea
These have been on hold for years; I'm actually surprised the State Dept. has done this. They're still blocked from import because of some ridiculous bullshit, but it's a step in the right direction. I already have a Garand from the CMP but I would love to pick up one more, especially at a low price.
The nice thing about open carry is you can carry concealed and not worry 110% about printing or exposing the weapon. Currently with CCW you are hyper protective of it, or should be.
Open carry often is defined to explicitly say you cannot obscure the gun. So I don't know what you're trying to say.

Open carry is needlessly disruptive of society. You don't need to worry about printing too much when concealing. With open carry, people freak out around you. Don't be one of the people who open carries because they:
a.) Want to confront cops
b.) want to show people it can be done
c.) Looking for attention
Open carry in the woods. Conceal carry elsewhere.
Which is why I mentioned CCW. Correct me if I'm wrong but if you have your CCW permit AND open carry is legal the printing and brandishing issues are out the window right? If so, you can CCW w/o the fear that someone catching a glance at your weapon will cause a major issue.
While I pretty much support open carry it's not something I'm interested in.
Open carry is also typically unloaded. Not something I'd want to do.
