I think shotguns are overrated. They do not ‘spread’ like people believe them to do, and easing around your house in the dark with a shotgun is cumbersome and can allow an intruder to neutralize the weapon simply by pushing it out of the way. I would rather have a handgun secured close to my body until time to fire. As for pistol-caliber carbines like the SUB 2000 or the Ruger, they have their place. If pistol-caliber weapons didn’t have their niche, then all country’s militaries wouldn’t field personal weapons more than just pistols in pistol calibers. I know that my own police dept. has MP5s in both 9mm and .40 because I have fired them. As for mine, I take it on trips where legal, stored away in its laptop case that I can carry in and out of rental houses or hotels without raising suspicion. Its a comfort, and can have a lot of deterrence if every required.
