Back to Basics
I've had various HD arrangements, but at one point I realized that the firearms I am most familiar with are over/unders and side-by-sides. To wake up groggy and then be full of adrenaline, I need something I don't have to think about to operate. So I've gone to a side-by-side in 20 gauge with 20" barrels and a single trigger with #4 buck. Even a butt cuff with five shells throws off the balance, so I just have a shell belt I can throw over my head and one shoulder. If I don't get them with the shotgun, they may die laughing a the sight of a naked fat man with sawed-off and a bandoleer.
