A reliable (aka: US-made) pumpgun is the top choice of most experienced gunners.
A Rem 870 or Mossy 500 will be dependable, and easy to firnd parts for, if/when it ever needs service - not to mention they have the most aftermarket accessories available for them, since they're the most popular/sold.
They're fairly safe around children if they're kept with the mag loaded, with the trigger pulled on an empty chamber, to make for no-brainer chamber loading in an emergency.
(I ensure the magazine & chamber's empty B 4 pulling the trigger, THEN load the magazine - for safety.)
