Paul is such a dork but his videos do offer a lot of good info. He’s definitely a fan of scatter guns.Houhusky said:

Guns are a lot like fishing, everyone is going to have an overly strong opinion on what is best. Boomer types will swear by old, tried and true, but possibly inferior technology. Zoomer types will swear by the cool new technology and and calibers.
I wrote a post outlining gun ranges for newbies on the wam, if people want it here I can repost it.
Personally:
Pump Shotguns and revolvers, while easy to understand are poor in practice for newbies, they have limited capacity and require manipulation before firing, terrible choice for a newbie actually in a self/home defense situation.
Get a common modern caliber; 9mm, 12 gauge, 5.56, .223
You aren’t experienced enough to ccw, if you are getting a pistol get a full size frame.
An AR style firearm is by far not only the most intuitive to use they are the easiest to be accurate with and are cheap to buy and practice with.
Canik is by far the best cheap entry level handgun for the money. -
Belongs in Wig Wam IMO

The old blunderbuss is phenomenal piece of gear. It is the deadliest close range weapon you can carry easily. It speaks with a finality. Very versatile.YellowSnow said:

- Relatively cheap compared to the other options
- Simple to clean and operate
- No other common home defense weapon yields as much lethalilty in one shot
- Load some slugs and you can take down any critter in N. America in a pinch
I get the limited capacity issue and the recoil is a bitch. -

The shotgun can usually take care of the job at hand but it is not a sustained fire weapon of any sort. A gun that carries 8 is about the practical limit. Mag fed guns aren't there yet and even if they were more ammo becomes very heavy and cumbersome. But from point blank to over 100 yards the shotgun is capable and useful. Swapping from buck to slug (slug select drill) takes a little time. The new buckshot loads pattern far tighter greatly extending the range of buckshot over the old stuff.
US military has a long history of using the shotgun. Germans said they would execute any American carrying one in WWI they didn't like 'em any better in WWII, Korea. Nam or the middle east. I think one of the first large combat uses of the shotgun was in the civil war. They were muzzle loaders but confederate cavalry would carry two double barreled guns and charge into the union troops cutting wide swaths down before switching to the sword and pistol. The military is still well invested on the shotgun. If you have never seen the movie The Wind and the Lion you're missing out. Winchester 1897's star in that one.
Your average ANTIFA/BLM commie losses a great deal of interest in his endeavors and rethinks things when the gauge is on scene. Cleaning their comrades brains off their faces reinforces their fears and they usually decide mom is calling. It's a very short jump until these idiots are armed with guns and shooting people.
