Shotguns not much use unless you decide to survive in a tenement cluster

Where I live (Alaska) a 12 ga shotgun is an excellent all around choice. From #4 shot to magnum bear slugs, the 12 ga is versatile and powerful enough to handle just about anything from geese to moose; from bird hunting to bear protection. Obviously, if hostile humans become a problem, the 12 is up to the task.
