Ahh but perception is the key!! As I am sure you know the sound of a pump shotgun being pumped is usually more than enough to discourage someone from continuing with any illegal activities they might be engaging in on your property at night, without the need to actually fire a shot! Of course if it came down to it I am sure the dogs take care of their "pack" against invaders/attackers babies or not!
