I get paid and basically don't have to "work". Plus im either getting a shotgun or some weaponry soonish so that is cool. O ya Im watching a lot of movies and reading a bunch to so yeah its been fun guys.
Just remember that the shotgun requires more training

It's more powerful and versatile than the AR, but it's much harder to master

Don't be intimidated by the AR, it is the easiest to master, basically point and click

Really ? You wouldn't recommend a Musburg like pump action shotgun with buckshot and call it a day? For $350 I can get the gun and plenty of ammo for home defense.

But it is more complex, you can't employ it to maximum effect, unless you are a master

The AR on the other hand, was made to be used by conscripts

It's very simple, easy to master, once you learn how to load make ready, then it's point and click

My wife can't use my shotgun, it's way too much gun for her, but she is no problemo with my AR

What about recoil pad , is that make any discernible difference? ARs cost how much more tho...cost benefit analysis and timing man. Better than nothing at the end of the day .

It's not the kick, it's the complexity,

the shotgun is a police weapon, you have to know how to pump it right, you have to know how to change ammo on the fly through the breach, it's a beast, not hard to get started, but hard to master for tactical usage

The AR is a Lady Gun, no fuss, no muss, no kick, yet laser accurate and deadly

A double barrel shotgun has to be less complex. Maybe go that way.

I got 6+1 in my 870, then I got a shell carrier with 5 more

Double barrel is fine, if you only have to shoot two people at once

If you're not a shotgun master however, you'll probably choke under pressure

Meanwhile the old lady with the AR can put you down easy

Mozambique Drill; two in the chest, one in the mouth, no problemo, a kid could do it with an AR

The AR doesn't scare the Gun Grabbers because it is too powerful

It scares them because it is too easy

It's America's favorite gun because anybody can use it, even women & kids ; rally round your family gun

If you'd rather rally round your family with a pocket full o' shells ?

No problemo, just pick up a copy of Magpul Dynamics The Art of Dynamic Shotgun along with the shotty

Costa & Haley can give you all the information you need to train yourself, in that video
