Yup, I agree with you. I just like my Glock because it fits in my small purse. We have shotguns in the trucks and the house. I've never shot anything else.
Glocks and shotguns are great! They will certainly do the job!
Shotguns are especially useful in Louisiana which is a sportsman's paradise. They are also pretty awesome for pest control, and defensive use.
That said, I hope it is ok if I suggest also possibly adding an AR15.
Here are a few points in favor of "America's Rifle version 15"
1. As an American, and particularly as a Southerner, it is almost a civic duty to have at least one.
2. They are a ton of fun.
3. Biden and the other scoundrels in Washington DC really don't want you to have one. That is reason enough.
4. They are really easy to shoot, and easy to shoot well. They have almost no recoil at all (unlike shotguns).
5. They are pretty accurate. I can hit "man sized" targets at 500 yards (using a scope).
6. Basic .223/5.56 ammo is relatively inexpensive compared with other stuff.
6. They are ergonomic, and comfortable. The collapsible butt stock commonly used make it so they can be adjusted to fit everyone.
7. You have a high rate of fire and good ammo capacity with 30 round magazines (compared to shotgun).
8. The price of AR15 rifles has dropped and you can get decent ones for around $500, or probably even $400 if you shop around (or build one using a stripped lower and a Palmetto State Armory build kit).
9. They are pretty lightweight and handy
10. They are powerful enough (though Megan's .308 is more powerful).
11. Everyone uses them or the select fire equivalent (police, military, and millions of your fellow Americans).
There are good reasons for their popularity.
Then again, a .22lr rifle is also a ton of fun, and cheaper to boot.
