Don't fire a gun with interchangeable choke tubes with no tube in place. Damage to the threads and/or barrels will result. Use the most open tubes you have for the gun for this purpose.
This gun comes with improved cylinder and modified tubes, which will work for home defense. You may wish to purchase a cylinder bore choke tube, to open the choke on one barrel.

Leave the choke tubes in. For home defense, there's going to be no real difference, anyway. At defensive ranges, the shot's still going to be in the cup. If the assailant somehow survives, somebody like me is going to be busy digging plastic, bits of clothing, and all sorts of garbage out of the hole. The same reasoning is why you don't need buckshot in home defense: even something as small as #4 shot works as if it were a frangible solid at extremely close range.

Take some cardboard and an assortment of shells with different sizes of shot out to the woods and do a little experiment. Shoot the different shells with your different choke tubes at whatever your maximum distance could possibly be in your particular home defense situation and look at the patterns. Then go trade the shotgun in for a pistol.

on shotguns no choke makes it like a blunderbuss, it covers a BIG pettern, a full choke keeps the pellets in a small pattern, then again my 9mm gloch spittin 147 grain hollow points from a 15 round clip works well too, just make sure the intruders body is INSIDE the house when the law shows up

Leave them in. At close range, inside the house, the difference between them in or out is no difference at all. However, taking them out will ruin the threads. You might also consider using larger shot for a better pattern. I load my shotgun with double ought buckshot ( balls about the size of a 38 slug ), or a rifled slug. At close range the buckshot will do a lot more damage than say an upland game load.

Put a #6 shot in one barrel and single buck or BB load in the other. there used to be a round called a FLETCHETT round with steel darts inside(very bad for bad guy's)

NO use number 4 size shot pellets, its more than adequate for taking anyone down & out.*
