After a few years of putting down the pump shotgun I've changed my mind.
I enjoy shooting them (reduced recoil loads) and because they are range friendly I can get far more/better training/practice than I can with a rifle or SBR. I had been thinking that shotguns are best used against a small number of intruders who want to live and aren't wearing armor. Well, isn't that what most HD uses of a gun are? Yup. And just because they are wearing soft armor doesn't mean you won't win. And if you have several guys wearing hard armor invading your home who don't care if they live or die damn. I feel for ya.
I think they are entirely up to the job of HD. And if it gets stolen or the police never give it back to you after an HD encouter your not out much.
