Why not? I think we all underestimate BGs, we always assume that they won't be intelligent enough to bring a few buddies, or to arm themselves, so we say "I'll get a shotgun". I don't really like Mossbergs except they offer shottys with high capacity, the Winchester defender is not my ideal shotgun, so that leaves me with the Remington 870. I can buy the 4 shot, save a few bucks and buy the tube extension and bring me to 7rnds, and with 6 extra ones on the side saddle, I'm set to go for a while. We also assume that a home invasion will never happen say... during a hurricane (for those of you who don't live or ever lived in a hurricane area, you may not understand)... so we need for a light.
Basically, I want a shotgun that is designed to kill fast, efficiently, and give me light when it isn't accessible.
I could care less about lawyers. And as for the ones having a field day with my "assault shotgun" that I build specifically for ripping flesh... is that illegal? Did I plan for a home invasion? I've done nothing more than properly prepare myself for the worst possible situation, and if I'm in court, I'm successful and the BG isn't there to say otherwise.
Its like when I went and purchased a 3lb trigger for my Glock, the salesman says "Well, if you shoot someone and you go to court you will be in trouble". I won't be in any more or less trouble with a 3lb pull than a 5lb... you know why? Because that 5 or 3lb wont change the fact of the matter if I killed someone. I don't care about being scared of lawyers, I've had my fair share of experience with them, and the best way to defeat them, is have a good lawyer, and be able to defend yourself with the right words, and play devils advocate.
