Seriously though shotguns are good for home defense.


Personally I had them for target shooting, for shooting varmints, and for the occasional animal that might be a danger(possibly rabid or just a big aggressive dog).

My dad is a gun collector. So the ones I have are actually "coming of age" type birthday gifts.

I had to leave them at home when I went to college though and for one reason or another it's never been convenient legally for me to have them since. But we'll see what the supreme court has to say about gun ban laws.

And there have been a few times when I would have been a lot more comfortable if I'd had a gun on me. Luckily paying attention to my gut and surroundings has kept me safe thus far.
