    Well, that was back when the shotgun was the only long gun in the patrol car.

    Well, and as someone said, "Shotguns only do one thing, but they do that one thing so well that they have no equal."

    Nobody fights their way to anything, they fight with what they have.

    Next question.

    Ahh, gather round kids. Here we see another, increasingly less rare, UniVibe post where he contemplates topics that have been beaten to death for years on this forum.

    You've been a member since 2008, have over 600 posts. You know how this works. These are good M4C rules to live by: Read more, post less. Use the search function.

    It's 2019, the AR platform has dethroned the shotgun in every tactical way except for breaching. The AR cannot kill ducks in the same manner as the shotgun however.

    Ok, but what if your home is being invaded by ducks?

    Let's be serious here, it's the geese that do the majority of the home invasions. And a grumpy gander ain't nothin to mess with.

    I'm not arguing: My go-to gun is an AR, and my back-up gun is another AR.

    However, the other advantage (besides shooting small moving targets) of a shotgun over an AR would be cost...


    I bought my sister and BiL a brand-new Mossberg 500 "Persuader" for <$300 several years ago (wedding present).

    Is it as good as an AR? Of course, NO.

    Is it better than a pistol? Of course, YES.

    Would I trust it more than a $300 AR? Of course, YES.


    Conclusion: Long guns trump pistols, even if carbines trump shotguns.

    Ooooh, no, Keemo Sabe. I had a problem with woodpeckers a few years back. I'll take geese and ducks doing the home invasion all day rather than damn woodpeckers.

    Around here the problem is mostly skunks, raccoons, gophers, and crows...

    A subsonic .22lr has worked well for me for years, but now that I have a 12ga shotgun...
