When my children were still at home I never thought the shotgun was a viable defensive home weapon . Leo friend told me with a shotgun if BG got to one of your children holding them captive with a shotgun you re taken out of the defensive situation because you would never shoot it toward your own child . Where with a pistol a head shot would be able to be accomplished with out injuring your child ..
If everyone in the home is in your bedroom it is a very good defensive weapon ..
So whether it is or isn't is all according to the situation in your home !!
