I purchased the Mossberg 51663 pump action shotgun, mail order, from KY Imports, through a local FFL dealer:

but they're harder to get ahold of - they don't answer the phone - and you have to play phone tag, or email tag, if you want to buy something from them.

In combination with the Federal Classic F131RS rifled slug, at 3110 FPS muzzle energy

Federal Load #	Energy in Foot-Pounds (to nearest 5 foot-pounds)
	Muzzle	25 Yds.	50 Yds.	75 Yds.	100 Yds.
F131RS	3110	2555	2120	1785	1540
F130RS	2805	2310	1930	1645	1450
F127RS	2520	2075	1725	1455	1255

this should stop all but the worst of the bad guys.

The great thing about long guns is that there's no waiting period whatsoever.

A slug?

While there may be no federal waiting period for long guns, your state may have one.

If I'm not mistaken, California's waiting period is five days for long guns and ten for handguns. (I could be wrong on this; I haven't made a purchase lately.)

I bought one of these beauties about two weeks ago. Nice J
