eems like there are more than a few guys here who think proper use of a shotgun involved in wingshooting and clays games correlates to the proper use of a shotgun in a defensive, or offensive situation. there is a reason that shotguns are being replaced in patrol cars. largely for the reasons Blue mentioned above. I will take a short barreled AR with an optic all day every day over a shotgun for social purposes.
Not too surprising, shotguns can get pretty messy in crowded areas. But for home defense, that can be an advantage...
