Shotgun ammunition is still very available and relatively cheap.

Depends on what you want. Birdshot and such is plentiful. 00 & 4 buckshot not too. And *starting* at $1 a round. Ditto for slugs.

A case of birdshot isn't going to make me feel too secure if things get ugly.

$2.95 for 5 rounds of Royal OO Buckshot at Sportsmans Warehouse if you have one close by. About the same price for slugs. The stores in NM have plenty.
