Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President... - Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln and Free Speech, Metropolitan Magazine, Volume 47, Number 6, May 1918.
Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
Yeah, there are many out there for cheap.
While they aren't "unfun" to shoot I enjoy a simple, short SXS or fast, lower-recoiling semi more.
A coach gun (double trigger) shoots/feeds anything (aguila mini-shells on up), has two choke choices, is shorter, (no receiver) and is more reliable than a pump.
If a non- gun enthusiast wanted a shotgun it's what I'd push them to get. Shorten stock (for most), add a light, consider a sling, mount shell holder of some kind securely on stock.
It can solve a huge number of rural/city problems.
But, they normally cost more than pump.
I bought one used for $150, kept it about a year, sold it for $150. Kicking myself now, but I still have scatterguns that sit in the back.
Don't need one, don't use them, but a good tool just in case.
Still wish I had that Wingmaster, though.
The trouble with a double-barrel is this: suppose you run out of ammo before they run out of Thugz?
The best thing to do is draw your pistol. But how likely is it the 1st BG isn't down, or the 2nd or other BG's are going to stick around? Not likely.
But if you don't have a pistol on you, reload. It can be done pretty quickly.

Yea, I know, this guy is a serious competitor. But even being 1/4 of his speed isn't slow should one need to shoot again. (Of course you would reload just in case)
The best place to keep extra shells is on the butt-stock and a bandoleer that can quickly be thrown over your head. (the guy in the video can't because rules)
Look at something like the NRA Rifleman shooting stories every month (the ones that occur at someones home) and imagine the person had just a double-barrel shotgun. The vast majority of threats can be ended with one. So can threats from animals and smaller nuisance creatures.
All the while being handier and more reliable than a pump-action for the person who only has one or a couple guns.
My point is for the non-gun enthusiast who wants a shotgun I'd recommend a double barrel.
For the enthusiast who wants a shotgun for home defense I'd recommend a semi-auto.

Also of note, for those in non-free states, a pump shotgun is easily at the top of the list as a viable, legal means of home defense. As more and more states pass anti gun legislation this point cannot be stressed enough.
A double barrel can be kept ready by storing it loaded but partially cracked open.
A 3x5 index card can also be folded and inserted into the action as its gently closed. The action wont then close by accident yet the card can be simply pulled out, the action closed, and the gun is ready for use. (And safety pushed off)
The manual of arms is much simpler than a pump or semi for the non-enthusiest.
Double triggers preffered for reliability. Single triggers usually re-cock by recoil and low-recoil ammo sometimes doesn't do it.
