A home defense shotgun is a firearm used for protection against intruders in a residential setting. It is typically a 12-gauge shotgun with a short barrel and a high capacity magazine. Home defense shotguns are often equipped with features such as a flashlight or laser sight to aid in target acquisition in low-light conditions.
Home defense shotguns are popular for several reasons. First, they are relatively inexpensive and easy to operate. Second, they are very effective at stopping an intruder. A single blast from a shotgun can inflict serious injury or even death. Third, shotguns are relatively easy to conceal, making them a good choice for homeowners who want to keep their firearm out of sight.
