It's no myth. A friend of mine when we were kids got shot with it in the back of his legs while stealing kumquats off a farmers tree. I agree it wouldn't be good for the gun.Jusme wrote:The Wall wrote:Isn't trespassing a crime anymore? You're on my property at night, uninvited and breaking into my car wouldn't be a good idea.

I think using rock salt in a shotgun is a myth. You would do as much by firing a starter gun. Check out some testing:

Also, it is heck on shotgun barrels, and if you need a defense load, you won't have it available. JMHO
