Just one shotgun?
Here's the deal--I don't own a shotgun, but I've got the opportunity to start hunting birds. At the same time, I'd like to have a shotgun that I can use for home defense. Is it reasonable to hope to be able to buy just one shotgun and be able to use it for both purposes? How inaccurate are 18 in. barrel shotguns when used for hunting? Are there ways to keep the shot dispersion down? I'm thinking 12ga Remington 870; perhaps this one or this one. Or are the two purposes just too different to be properly served by just one weapon? Thanks for the help!
