Carrying a shotgun by military people in battle is a war crime. Multi-projectile weapons were banned by the Hague(signed by the U.S. after W.W. II) Rules of Land Warfare over 100 years ago. It's about causing unnecessary injuries.

Carrying more than handgun for CCW is mostly a logistics issue. However, if you can't deal with whatever situation you got yourself into with one firearm, you're in over your head in the first place.
Your ankle is a very bad place to carry any firearm. Far too difficult to get at in a hurry.
You realize the US has shotguns in inventory with official designations? The issue of shotguns with regards to the Hague convention is a matter of interpretation and the US has specifically argued that they are not in fact banned by the Hague.
