I don't know why everyone says a shotgun is such a great defense weapon. Sure, it can be in certain situations, but in others it would be horrible. For example: if some bumbling idiot breaks into a person's house and grabs one of your kids so that you won't shoot him, a shotgun would not be a good weapon, whereas a handgun or a highly accurate AR-15 might still safely be able to subdue him without hitting your kid.
