If you had a basic 12ga 4 or 5+1 pumper, would you ever "really" need more than that (say like a 590 or even autoloader or AR12)? It would seem to me that a basic pumper works well for home defense with its capacity being sufficient and the barrel length being better for inside a house. But a longer barrel shotgun with a higher capacity is not much more than a novelty if you have other rifles and handguns that you would prefer for a WROL situation?
I'm just trying to justify what I choose to own & store and wondered if one home defense shotgun was enough and an additional 'better" tactical shotgun would just be money sitting collecting dust if you had options in mind for a true SHTF situation?
