I would consider a Mossberg shockwave 590 in 20Ga, or even .410 for motorhome/camper/travel use. Winchester makes the .410 ammo with Copper cutting discs and pellets that would make the .410 into a nasty close/medium range defense shotgun. All plus sides are the safety on the back of the receiver (not on the trigger guard), no adapters needed, and it would be better to handle for a wife/daughter, than a 12Ga IMHO. YMMV. -TomT
