As a result of this circular discussion one can deduce that if you don/t train and shoot well you better rely on your shotgun. It indicates that you will have ample warning to get that boomer so that negates the value of having it on your person. Most here can make headshots w/ buckshot and see in the dark. The value of following the Tao of Ayoob is the true path to enlightenment and will allow you to drink from the skulls of your enemies. Lessons learned.
A question. Assuming most that have responded carry a handgun at all times, when you get home do you dump that pistola and strap on a shotgun because you lack confidence in your competence w/ that handgun?
If you don't carry all the time your opinion on self defense matters may carry less weight.

In answer to the question, I carry all the time. Glock is near to hand even in the shower. Eighteen rounds of Gold Dots ready to roll 24/7. And it hits where I am looking. The shotgun and AR still become primary given time, because of the increased lethality. If I get caught with just the pistol, it’s still a bad day for the target. I just prefer a long gun if the option is available.
