If your friend doesn't shoot a shotgun recreationally,it's not the best choice. Shotguns are beautifully effective tools,for those who will practice and shoot them frequently. They are NOT a substitute for poor skills.
Even #6 shot,the size used on squirrels,will penetrate interior walls. The idea of being in a concrete room with 00 zinging around is disquietening,to say the least.
Unless every responsible adult in that house who may need to use a HD firearm is willing to practice frequently with a shotgun, t'is better by far to go with something else,say a nice reliable 38 Special revolver.
As to my qualifications, as part of my duties for more than 10 years with the Md Dept of Public Safety, I taught hundreds of Correctional Officers to shoot, including shotguns.
