I will agree that a 9mm is the way to go for a handgun for defense, however, a shotgun can be very unwieldly for some people. I'm a big guy and I have no problem handling a shotgun, but many shotguns can be hard to use, and actually extremely unsafe in the hands of someone that is not comfortable with it. Not to mention the fact that it can be really hard for someone to walk around a house while holding a shotgun in a shooting position.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
