You have a semi-auto shotgun with “a pistol grip and a telescoping stock, easy to adjust between me and my wife”?
Really?
For home protection, get a Mossberg or an 870.
Problem solved.
It is a Mossberg. A Mossberg 590, with heat shield. The stock was too long for her, so I replaced it with a telescoping stock that has a pistol grip. Easy to adjust to different people. So now it’ll be in violation of the laws, because it has several combined features of a “military” weapon. Despite the fact it fires the same way as shotguns without the “special” features. Damn politicians.
