Gene, I'll have to go with Clifford on this one. If I was a sighted person staring down the barrel of a shotgun I would want some toilet paper close by. the other good thing, in my opinion, about a shot gun single or double barrel is is it will spray a pattern where the pistol even though more accurate in some ways may take several shots to hit your target. I used a shotgun not that long ago at a party which got out of control. by removing several sections of the ceiling I did in fact have the attention of whoever was still left on the property. . One other option about a shotgun is nobody is going to sneak away with your shotgun but they might hide your pistol in a pocket or jacket pocket.. I've never cleaned a pistol. auto or otherwise but the ease of cleaning a shotgun is very blind friendly. Lee
