Chile with his BF?
I have my paps old Vietnam-Era Ithaca Model 37 DS Police Special 12 gauge. 20" barrel and 8 round tube. Trust me once they hear you rack a round they will run for the hills.
Used to hunt squirrel and rabbit and duck with it but I haven't used it in years but I keep it clean, loaded with buck shot and easily accessible. If anyone knows the old Ithaca model 37 knows that you can slam fire them just as fast as a semi auto. Hold the trigger and pump. I keep it handy because we regularly have large groups of "produce pickers" around here in the spring and fall. I live really close to 2 fairly large apple orchards. Ridgetop and Boyer orchards.
