This is a magazine for people that identify as left-of-center, and either own firearms, or are in favor of gun rights (e.g., 2A rights for people that live in the US). This is a PRO-GUN magazine (ha!, see what I did there?). This magazine is explicitly pro-LGBTQ+, pro-feminism, and pro-BLM.

Ask someone who claims to be a weapons expert of any stripe whether shotguns are effective for home defense and you are going to get an EARFUL of opinions.So...

I feel like they're a good budget option but not ideal for everyone. A pistol is the best for convenience with storage or to be able to use your carry for home defense. A semi-auto rifle or PCC is probably easiest to learn and use under stress. Any long gun will be harder to store in a quick access safe but there are options.

@borkcorkedforks I agree shotguns are not for everyone, especially someone who is new to firearms. I’m most comfortable using mine because I’m mostly a shotgun guy and I have confidence that I can hit what I point at because I’ve used the same gun for more than 30 years. Browning A5 “light” 12 with a buck barrel. There is a good distance between my house and the neighbors. That said, I plan to pick up a semi-auto 9mm so I have a good sidearm and also an AR well in advance of the next election cycle
