HD Gun -- Stock or Tricked Out?

1000 thoughts on this, hahaha.

Mine are as follows.

If you already have a shotgun you don't really need to go buy a HD shotgun. Unless of course it is a Marlin Goose Gun and is longer than my ceiling is tall. Additionaly, if you have a single shot only or a gun that may not be reliable, you are in need of of HD shotgun.

I have many shotguns in different forms and feel 100% secure with out having a "Home Defense" shotgun.

Now, atty's can make a case out of anything! Take a standard HD shotgun that's bone stock! So Mr. Defendant, what is the main purpose of this 18" bbl, we used to call "sawed off"? Do you use this gun to hunt with? Do you have a hunting liscense? Tell me about your last hunting outing using this gun? Mr. Denfendant is true you have many firearms that are not intended for use in hunting? How many guns do own? Does the slug used in the gun or the #1 buckshot mean you were expecting someone? What about the the firearms the police found that were in easy access to you? Do you visit Gun sites on the internet frequently? Could it be possible you were so prepared Mr. defendant that you may have even been looking for this opportunity? bla bla bla

I only say this to make you wonder about whether adding ancillary products really makes any difference? In my opinion, an good atty. can make a decent argument anyway. The other products would just be plus.

Adding to my other thoughts.

Actually I can see where the addition of a tacticle light to a HD shotgun would be beneficial in a legal case. It can show an intent to be careful and responsible! It can also be said that the need to be able to identify the perp is of such importance that a normal hunting/sporting shotgun would not be sufficient in being able to responsibly defend yourself, your family and at the same time protect other friendly's that may enter your home from harm.

Cool, I knew I would find a good responsible reason to buy one!

Just don't stare at it for too long!!!!!! You'll see spots!

j/k

Actually, the both of us follow the same train of thought regarding a weapon's light. Identification.

I had been debating getting a stock 870 and 1187 (both Police models) or just going whole hog for the Wilson variants. I've decided to go stock, and only add those modifications that I decide that I truly need after using both for a while. I anticipate adding jumbo safeties and ghost ring sights (I can't find an 870 P with such sights already installed nor a tritium front sighted 1187) and sidesaddles. But those can come later. The stock versions should fully meet my immediate HD needs.
