Many thanks for your advice. Without a doubt practice will be key. As for calling 911 and hoping, it's getting harder and harder to have confidence that will be enough. This year has brought clarity to many like me who were content to sit on the fence with regard to a firearm purchase in the...
So even shotgun ammo is in short supply? I know I'm diving in at a really bad time but I assumed it would be somewhat easier to find than most other types.
Yeah I get that a shotgun might be a bit bulky for my need, especially with the tight configuration of the house. I do fully intend to get a handgun as well but haven't even started down that path. I'm sure that's a whole other post to get input on the many options.

Concerning reliability as compared to a pump action, here's my thought process. If I had several weapons to choose from and I needed to be sure that I would not encounter a jam or misfire at that very moment, then perhaps I'd grab the pump. But if I only owned one shotgun, and I'm probably not...
