Hear ya bruh.
My reality check is that I expect to get at least three shots before taking the incoming.
No armor so I need to make those 1st three count.
All I’ve got is a 12gauge.
It sits next to a box of mag-load sabot deer-slug.
So, close range head-shots.
Uh...wait...I really don’t have this figured out and those cinder blocks in my garage are for a BBQ I’m building...that’s it, a BBQ, yeah.
And I just remembered that I’m going to Lake Huron tomorrow so’s I can accidentally lose that shotgun in 400-feet of water.

Love the passion.
We already have young men, that will save you the trouble.

Oh, No!!! That just reminds me of that tragic boating accident...
Ah, I apologize...my memory is failing, can’t even remember where it was.
The 12 ga is just fine for close work. A gas operated semi auto would be the best choice. I always say gas operated since you can cycle it with one hand, off-hand, with no need to brace it on your shoulder. Sometimes you need the other hand for stuff. Shorter barrels are good where defense is the issue. Extended mags so you can load six or more rounds are good. OO Buck should be your first choice and if you thot you’d get off more than three shots then a bandolier is best for keeping the mag topped off.
And try to keep it out of the lake. You’ll need it before you want to lose it. A few more no-knock raids and you’ll know it’s time. Fill those cinder blocks with something dense.
