Look at the buckshot patterns at 12 feet.

Now add 8 more feet......
Again I'm not advocating a shotgun over an AR15 in all cases. But many of the myths about shotguns are just that, myths. A shot gun is a formidable weapon at close range inside 4 walls. When you get outside the 4 walls of a house for example, its usefulness diminishes with each added yard. I carried a Win Model 97 in RVN during boarding parties when searching junks for contraband. I could have carried a M16, but the M97 was better in close quarters.
Having both at hand is good to have another tool for the tool box.
Everything is a trade off. I've fired 12 ga indoors enough times to know it isn't my first choice.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
