Self Defense Shotguns
What is the point of buying an Assualt Rifle for Self Defense?
OK, you shoot a criminal or bad guy attempting to rob your house. It goes to a jury. Most of the people on the jury don't own a gun. They see this machine gun looking thing and they look at you and think you are a nut. Aren't you better off in front of a jury with a double barrel shotgun or .30-30 with a wood stock? Something that looks normal? And are you REALLY likely to have to shoot a whole bunch of people?
My "assault rifle" is in my closet. If I need to shoot someone that is breaking into my house then I have been put in fear of my life or my family's life. I am more likely to shot the bad guy with a handgun from my nightstand. However, if I do wind up killing a burglar it doesn't matter if I do it with my Mini-14, my Glock, my shot gun, beat him to death with a can of Campbell's soup, or stab him with my Kay Bar. If I have hit the level of lethal force then dead is dead.
I would hope my lawyer would get some gun owning fathers on the jury anyway.............all I need is one person on the jury to visualize the need to defend your family.
It's not like the Prosecutor is going to argue that the deceased piece of trash was minding his own business, breaking into my house, trying to support his crack habit, when I just up and ventilated him. Most DA's wouldn't prosecute you for defending your family..........if your DA would then you need to move.

What is the best kind of shotgun for self-defense?
If you had to defend yourself against several armed people what kind of shotgun would you want to have?
This is a research question for a book. I am not a gun owner and don't know anything about them.
I personally own a Mossberg 500 SPS. 18 1/2 inch barrel (shortest legal barrel) with a pistol grip. It was manufactured with personal defense in mind and I'm certainly satisfied with it. For the price (under $300) I think it's a fine shotgun.
