Actually, I keep a Mossberg 500 cruiser with a short length of pull stock and side saddle by the bed. I got rid of the pistol grip, for the same reason i'm using a shotgun. Hollywood and Rambo is a bunch of crap.
A shotgun is ideal because it doesn't have the same penetration that a rifle or handgun would have. I wouldn't want any rounds fired to pass through a couple walls and hit an innocent person. A shotgun is also slightly easier to hit a target
center of mass in a high stress situation then a handgun or rifle.

It scares me even more when people are so paranoid that they suggest even cops should be fair game.

Nobody said they'd willingly shoot at a cop. Intruders yes.

I think the combination of people with guns and the idea that the bogey man is around every corner or sound in the dark is a bad one.

You must live in a nice safe neighborhood. Where I live, i grew up having to lock all the windows at doors at night because
this guy was on the loose.
When i was in high school, we had no less then 6 drive by shootings, and i went to the good high school.
Just a couple weeks ago in the apartment complex we live in, a tenet was accosted at their mailbox, at gunpoint. That gunman then forced that tenet to bring him to the tenets apartment, where he proceeded to steal everything of value that person had... and we THOUGHT we lived in an "ok" neighborhood.
Paranoid? Hardly. The world can be a harsh place. ---- happens. Nobody is so special that it can't happen to them.
