Personally I'd rather have an inexpensive pump shotgun sitting in an evidence locker than an expensive SBR'd AR w/eotech.
I'm pretty sure that would be the last thing in the world you would care about if forced to defend your family and kill a man or men inside your household.
Use what's comfortable and reliable.

I am not following the logic of your argument.
Let's say a homeowner has two choices of weapons for him to use for home defense, an inexpensive pump shotgun & an expensive tricked out AR, with either one being more than capable of doing the job required of it.
Yet the homeowner would rather risk having his expensive tricked out AR confiscated (perhaps never to be returned or even destroyed) instead of his inexpensive shotgun? That just doesn't make any sense to me.
Why go with a single when you can get a good used pump for $150? Heck I saw a Stevens pump listed for $120 on the classified section of this forum go unsold for several months. (Though I'm guessing the seller should have bumped the thread more often) When he dropped the price to $100 it sold before I could make an offer.great thread. I just was looking at cheap shotguns today. I am going to get a single shot new england soon and I wont feel outgunned with my pistol on my hip and wife with her pistol covering me.
rack of the pump will scare the intruder away.
FN SLP.
Your firearms are not magic talismans that use voodoo to scare away the repeatedly stupid criminal. The racking of the shotgun seems pretty silly to me. Yes, I agree that it sounds intimidating... to someone smart enough to know that stealing is wrong, bad and is often punishable by death... but isn't it just as silly or stupid as unnecessarily racking a handgun to 'intimidate' the bad guy?
Dream on...now they know you are awake and armed...they may start shooting walls and doors without caring where or who the bullets hit.
