I get you and you make great points but if we are talking home invasion I'm not worried about it happening while I'm making waffles or using the bathroom. I figure it'll happen when we're in bed and then it's just a matter of protecting a doorway. So that's why I love shotguns. Also, skeet shooting is a blast. Obviously there's like a 0.00001% chance of a home invasion happening so end of day ehh.
I’m not against the idea of having a shotgun for home defense. But not everyone faces the same type of threat at home in which a firearm would be useful for home defense. And why limit yourself to ONLY a shotgun in the bedroom? Can you not afford to own more than one firearm? That’s like only having one way to exit your home in the event of fire and planning how to do so for only a particular kind of fire that would allow using that exit.
