I moved here from New Orleans after Katrina, I had just retired from the military and did not want my kids high school years to be scarred by Katrina the whole time. I love North Georgia, I go to Helen at least once a year during October Fest! (Current Middle Georgia resident)
Looks like the Remingtons is the tactical looking kind, while I like the look, I am pretty sure my wife was not thinking a military look, but I like it so that may make my decision!
I was marksman qualified on the M-16 while in the USAF, but I have never really used a shotgun myself and have no idea on the shells and loads. I have gotten some good research start points here to help me.
Does anyone know if Bass Pro Shop or Dicks Sporting Goods has competitve prices? or should I head straight for one of the local gun shops?

Recommend pricing at a general sports shops and then going directly to a gun shop. My son just got a Glock 21, NIB. The local big store was $100 more for a used piece.
Buying online has a shipping charge and a FFL delivery charge so it could be a wash. Determine the owner’s credentials, former LEO...military armorer...ect. Then you will have someone to go to with questions.
Home defense is a special art, recommend you do some research. For instance, if there are young ones in the house they might come running - and yelling - into the master bedroom on the first shot and it will likely be dark, none of which helps the stress level for the defender and create a dangerous environment. (Tell them to hide under the bed until you tell them to come out?) If you have a two-story, tell her to not go downstairs, get on the phone and defend from the top of the stairs, etc., etc.
