1. Biden on Shotguns: (Start at 0:40)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj1GaX_-E-E 2. Shotguns need to be AIMED. They are NOT wide-area "scatter guns" as seen in movies. 3. Shot guns within normal room-sized ranges are effectively "point-impact" weapons. Impact pattern measured in inches 4. Shotguns are high recoil. Do not get a "shorty" and expect either aim it or control it. 5. Shotguns at normal room distances go right through double-layer drywalls --- big time |

Thanks for the references. No "shotgun and politician" session would be incomplete without a "Dick Cheney shoots Lawyer in the Face with a 28 ga Perazzi" mention!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_C...nting_accident Back on topic: Springs are not going to wear out from being stored loaded. On a hammerless gun, closing the action on empty chambers leaves the hammers cocked, so if you want to relieve the tension, you want snap-caps in the chambers and to pull the triggers. This assumes that there are two triggers on the coach gun... (insert discussion on single trigger double barrel operations and inertia from fired shell here) Anyways, people leave those springs in tension for decades and they still work fine. The comments above by mehavey are spot on.

Biden is ignorant about everything; why would anyone listen to him?

This looks good, but there was a thread about the new mossberg shotguns not being reliable. I don't know when they dropped the ball on QC, but if I thought I could count on a reliable gun, I could find a Mossberg youth model 20ga for under $400. It's short enough. This gun would be shot at the range (2 boxes of birdshot), cleaned, loaded and placed in a handy location.

I'm surprised -- with all the mention of the 870 -- that the Express' "steel-base hull" problem hasn't reared its head.

TFB seems to call them as they see them, and they were very positive about the Maverick 88: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9OL..._channel=TFBTV
