I used to believe the shotgun was a good idea. Then the 1992 LA Riots came along. For three to five days folks were pretty much on their own. Businesses were being torched over a wide area. Finally the Korean business men went on the roof of their businesses with rifles and it stopped.
If you don't have access to a long range rifle, it leaves you open to some sucker that has looted an arms store, and wants what you have, or to destroy what you have. Can't take a shotgun to that type of a fight.
If someone is trying to torch your neighborhood, it's a good idea to be able to address the issue without having to go down the street to stop them, or watch everthing burn up to your doorsteop.
