Didn't buy today...
...but I did take the wife to the local gun shop / range and looked at scatterguns. We'd been talking about getting one for our personal Homeland Security Department and maybe try a little skeet shooting from time to time with friends who do that.
Alas, our finances won't allow such a major purchase until next weekend.
They had an FN 1300 police 12 gage, 7+1 used, tagged at $340. Not sure if that's a decent price (comments welcomed) but I'm sure it's negotiable. A lot of Bennelli's too, but I preferred the look and feel of the 1300. The large capacity would come in handy if the local barbarians ever ford the moat and breach the walls. We've been seeing a lot more barbarian activity in this part of the kingdom lately...
