Hell, even a jackass like Uncle Joe has a double barrel shotgun.

If you don't hunt, they're just a novelty IMHO. Although I loved the FN TPS I had, been contemplating buying another one.

I don't hunt and I don't think the ones in my house fall under the novelty category.

What do they fall under? Just to clarify I see no issue with owning guns for novelty purposes.

I would rather use an AR for HD over a shotgun but that's another thread.

Self defense. I'm not worried if you have an issue with novelty guns or not. Just relaying that outside of opinion, they are quite versatile.

They are and I don't knock what people choose to do with them. I used to have a bunch of guns that I owned just for the fun of shooting. Then I sold everything except my G19 and AR, decided I'd rather spend the money I was spending on guns for ammo and training. Funds are picking up though and I plan to pick up some novelties soon

Speaking of training, try taking a shotgun course. You'll be surprised what a well run shotgun can do.

I'm welllllllll aware what a shotgun can do, although ill admit never taking a shotgun training course. Given the option though I'd rather grab my AR, the 5.56 will become 300blk SBR fairly soon. I enjoyed my FN TPS as it had the same ergos of an AR. However it had to go when I needed some scratch. Another TPS is in my future though and will be loaded with HD rounds although Ill still be grabbing the AR. YMMV

I do love shooting shotguns though, I especially loved my Ithaca featherweight with no disconnector

He says "I'll never own a shotgun" then he says there are two in his house. his sons and the one his dad gave him (ergo, he is the new owner - doesn't matter if he purchased it or it was inherited. he owns it)

double speak = automatically discounted.

I own my grandfathers old Winchester 1887. I have fired and hunted with the gun years ago. Will never fire it again. It is an heirloom, a memento, it is now property. Because I will never shoot it it is no longer a gun.

Interesting story, but I came away with two thoughts.

One, this individual has just ruled himself to be totally uninterested in buying my handguns, for two reasons. One is a Glock 23C in .40 caliber, and the other is also .40 caliber, although not a Glock.

However, as for the AK-47, I'll differ with one of his comments...

...communists aren't ALL bad....

Didn't want a Glock, almost bought one.
Didn't like ARs, now the wife and I both have one.

So maybe I would never buy:
1. Anything chambered funky (6.5 Creedmor, anything Weatherby, 28ga, or WSMs)
2. A new (post-2000) Remington
3. Anything that costs more than I make a month (so Noveske, Daniel Defense, or any other boutique brand)
4. A revolver
5. Single or double shot shotgun

That'll probably all change in 5 years...
