For HD, the ability to put a hit on a running target might prove to be a critical factor and would be easier to accomplish with a shotgun than an AR (with no scope or RD).
My neighbor is a single mother of about 50 years old (with daughter who is 14) who asked me recently to sell her deceased husband's 870 for her. She currently has a Glock 19 which she carries in the car with her to her job.
I seriously doubt she can afford a tricked out AR on her salary. I suggested she might want to keep the shotgun for HD, either replace the long barrel with a short one, and load it with Federal Tactical reduced recoil buckshot for a much more effective weapon than the 9mm. I could even chop the old barrel down for her.
She lives on an acre and a half outside town so overpenetration is not much of an issue.
Anyway, she is thinking about it. I hope she decides to keep it.
