Before I bought a shotgun for home defense, I figured I would pick the brains of people more knowledgeable than I. I'm looking for a shotgun for home defense. I have my great grandfather's 20 ga, but the barrel is cracked. As new as I am, I still know that using that is not an option. I've heard a lot about Mossbergs and Remingtons and how good they are. But... my searches online show differences of opinion in what gauge to get. If you use a shotgun for HD, which gauge do use and why?
