Everyone needs a shotgun

[V-Tach]

If you don't have an M7 on the business end....you're doing it wrong...............


imho.......

My Boom Stick is a Cimmarron Model 1878. Made in Texas.

So where's the argument on why everyone needs a shotgun?


I mean we already have a shotgun thread.

 

[SloppyShooter]

Model 42 Winchester Skeet Gun & an ASI pump out of Turkey.

What I'd like another of was the Italian-made LUPARA, a 12 gauge DB with hammers & 18.1" barrels, that was stolen when some CREEP stole my antique PU last year.
(That gun stopped many a bar fight when I was an active LEO. = NEVER had to fire a single time at a 2-footed creature BUT it saved me being savaged by a very large & AGGRESSIVE cur-dog not long before I retired . = ONE load of #4 Buck was more than he could live with.)

Because everybody knows a Hillbilly.

Stir, stir, stir the pot....

The Benelli 11724 for the small stuff. If I need to go big I'll use the M203.

One good thing about a shotgun is is can kill anything.

bigwheel,

VERY TRUE.
The FAVORED weapon to STOP or TURN wounded dangerous game like a CAPE BUFFALO is a 10 or 12 gauge shotgun & loaded with 000 or 00 BUCKSHOT.
(The famous PH Harry Selby was NEVER known to be without his SxS 10-bore MATADOR & loaded with 000B, when the quarry was a WOUNDED Buff.)

Shotguns are soo, yesterday. Today, it's all about the "other firearm" aka Shockwave.

I keep a shotgun next to the bed, but other than that I rarely shoot it. Unless you're into skeet, trap or bird hunting it's not what I would call a precision firearm for target shooting.

To All,

IF you don't live in a "safe neighborhood" (there are NO such "safe neighborhoods" in 2018. - NONE.), as a retired LEO a shotgun is THE weapon for repelling an armed home invasion particularly during the hours of darkness.
(Most every criminal has some idea of what a load or more of BUCKSHOT, fired from a covered/concealed position, will do.)

My FAVORITE is #4 Buck for in-town home defense & #1, 0 or 00 for farm defense, where ranges may be more than inside the typical home.

I just keep a recording of a pitbull growling and a shotgun being chambered, by the bed, the responding police can follow the sheet trail.

Are you sure you're in the right forum?

 

[Longhorn1986]

Remington 870 and an FN SLP Mk I. Both loaded with 00 buck for the same reason I carry a .45 or .357 mag, Why waste ammo & shoot twice?

That's what the doctors tell me, but I'm not sure, now that you mention it. I could use a shotgun, but the idea of lead balls bouncing off rubber walls scares me, and those imaginary intruders can duck fast.

Besides, I didn't take home ec., .....been wiping up sheet for years, but I'd have to call Martha to know how to deal with massive blood stains.

Only ever bought 1 shotgun. Started with an 870. Added an old school folding stock I found at a gun show. Then I extended the tube magazine. Can't think of a reason to replace it. But I'd love a hammer coach gun to set next to it in the safe. Of course I've been meaning to buy an AR-15 since '78. Gotta get around to that.
