A full-length shotgun like that would definitely not be my top choice for home defense. A weapon like that has to be lowered to move through doorways, leaving you vulnerable. Its intimidating as hell and packs a helluva lot of punch, but is too big for confined spaces. Stick to a combat shotgun like the Benelli M4 or a good .45 if you really expect to have a shootout in your house
That being said, that is one bad-ass shotgun.

Counterpoint. Home defense is not about clearing rooms. It is about staying in one location with good cover, on the phone and waiting for the cops to arrive. If you do the smart thing then barrel length is not an issue.

There are tons of reasons why one should own a gun: home protection, leisure...What if there was a natural dissaster and every man/family is out for themselves. How would you protect yourself/family then. Anyone may get in a situation where you might have to use a gun, and that requires owning one or atleast knowing how to use one.
I'm definitely gonna look into adding this shotgun to my collection.
On a side note: I'd definitely pick up my 96FS Brigadier over a shotgun, even for home defense. Everything is just much faster and easier.

While being sure not to shoot your family when they play jack-in-the-box on you in the dark...

Nice. I tend to agree but not everyone may stick to the plan when they hear noises after midnight. Glad to know they're properly drilled on protocol over at your place.
But my point is "offense" does not really have a place in home defense.
