20 or 12 ga. Which one would be better to stop the zombie thread that keeps rising from the grave? 
different tools for different jobs.....
Why haul out the 12gauge goose shooter, for an afternoon dove hunt,
clays don't care what their shot with......heres a hint GENIUS....it's
actually HARDER to hunt with the small guages. So if you need to feel more
like a MAN I recommend trying alaskan brown bear hunting with a .410
in #8 shot.....we need less of your kind in the world.
P.S. I only own a 12gauge.

Enjoyed This So Much
Thanks guys!! You all are so funny (really--not meant to be sarcastic). I haven't laughed this hard in "I don't know when." I couldn't sleep tonight, got up and read this forum about 20 gauge, and I'm glad I did. You really cracked me up and now I'm in a good mood.

DevLcL=you're a candy a** wimp 
--a 12 bore from such a he man like yourself, why not a 10 bore or better still an 8 bore or even a 4 bore and in your 1800's design stock, with lots of drop of heel, crescent butt stock and steel butt plate, oh and in a light weight version so you can carry it easier when going to investigate that bump in the night...by the way, do you go deer hunting with a .700 NE? OH, they probably did take a 20G but as a .62 cal trade gun/musket.
You match the gun and caliber to the game and conditions...I know lots of people who only own one shotgun (usually a 12G) and use it for everything, (just changing the powder loads and/or shot size to match the game), whether from economics or preference doesn't matter...others I know have guns, some even multiple guns, in every or just about every modern gauge available--kinda hard to shoot multi gauge skeet with only a 12G--unless you have barrel inserts.
Why? Is it because of the challenge of less shot? Reduced recoil? Less carry weight? Size appropiate to person's frame, gender or age? Yes to all of the above!

I am just "a kid" so the "20ga only for wimps,women and children" applies ; I have shot 3" mag slugs out of a 12 gauge shotgun i weigh in at around 114lbs and am 5'4'', now I had fun for the first 3 SHOTS, then I felt like I had been tackled by a 350lb line backer multiple times. I also could not hit the 50yrds steel plates that are 15"x15". swtched to 20 gauge slugs and hit em every time.
