(Continued from Part 1.) The Killing Power of Firearms: More is Better The 20 gauge or 12 gauge shotgun and semi-auto handgun is a good combination for close-quarters combat or with home defense distances of 35 yards or less. If using Federal Flight Control buckshot, the maximum effective distance can be 50 yards. A modified to full choke can also extend the range of the shotgun. A shotgun loaded with buckshot shells can stop the fight instantaneously.

Welcome back to our weekly behind-the-scenes glimpse at what’s getting our team talking. Let us know what you think at info@reasonstobecheerful.world. Home team While evictions are on the rise across the US, thousands of renters in Philadelphia have been able to stay in their homes thanks to the city’s eviction diversion program, according to a Wall Street Journal story shared by RTBC Executive Editor Will Doig. The program requires landlords to negotiate with tenants, with the help of a counselor, to try to reach an agreement before taking the case to court. Will says:   We wrote about this during the program’s trial period — now, Philadelphia’s eviction diversion program has been made permanent, and the data showing its effectiveness on preventing evictions is pretty stunning. Just a test For many women, getting the cervical cancer test known as a Pap smear is an uncomfortable experience — and it may no longer be necessary: A new self-sampling method is catching on, the New York Times reports, and it allows patients to test themselves in private. Experts hope these new tests will reach women who don’t get screened regularly, which could bring down the number of preventable deaths from cervical cancer. Contributing Editor Michaela Haas shared the story with us, noting the huge impact this could have. Michaela says:   Since I wrote the story about how cervical cancer could be prevented, I know this is really great news that will save thousands of women’s lives.
