I guess I agree with Oldmarksman.

I don't like having unsecured weapons about the house. That means either I have the weapon with me or it's unloaded in the safe.

I'm not going to walk around all day with a shotgun.

Now I have no objection to parking one next to the bed at night, but that means unloading it and putting it in the safe every morning. That gets old. So, without a compelling reason to do so, the next to the bed at night routine is not going to happen either.

So, no shotguns for me.
