Living on a farm in a rural area, I have shotguns for different purposes. Besides, I just like shotguns. Got "a few."
My most likely "home defense" scenario is after dark, the chickens start raising a ruckus and the horses sound nervous and The Wife "suggests" I go check things out. I go forth with a Maglite, a .38 in my pocket, and my SXS 20 ga in my hand, with #6 birdshot in one pipe and #3 buck in the other - that way I'm covered for possum to coyote.
Doing chores during the day, a .410 NEF Pardner single shot is nearby, I put a sling on it so I could carry tools and it at the same time.
Retiring at night, there's a 12 ga pump loaded with buck in the closet, a Mini 14 leaning against the headboard, and a Ruger Blackhawk in 45 Colt on the nightstand.
No tacticool stuff for me, I'm just an old guy keepin' it real with wood and steel.
