A shotgun with certainly ward off an individual person, and will kill them if you shoot them with it.And the thing mormons and cartels have in common is the hundreds of family members willing to kill and die for them. There is no gun in the world that can keep you safe if i I have 16 brothers and put a $2 box cutter in each of their hands. If you're being threatened by an organised group of violent loyal men you either need your own organised group of violent loyal men or you need the police or national guard to step in, and even then lol good luck.
A shotgun will not ward off the cartels![]()
