Personally I think the racking of a shotgun is an urban legend. I do not want anyone to know where I am in my locked and secure bedroom. I do not want anyone to know what kind of hell they will go through if they decide to find out what is "behind Door #1". Do you really believe that just hearing the sound is going to make a difference to someone already stealing in your home?Any shotgun out there is enough. Once an intruder here the gun rack, that should be enough.

You might want mention what kind of hacksaw he should use for his barrel modification as well as the minimum legal barrel length for a shotgun. You post this kind of nonsense and then you wonder why I question your intelligence.
I have had a shotgun racked on me and it scared the hell out of me. I was trespassing and didnt know it.
Federal law mandates 18" is the shortest a shotgun barrel can be. It doesn't matter if you keep it in your home or not. If you ever get caught going shorter, you're going to prison. That's like telling people it's ok to modify their AR-15's to be full auto as long as they never leave their house with it.In your own home there is no minimum length, just don't carry it outside or try to use it for hunting. As far as what type of hacksaw... seriously?
And I don't wonder anything about you regarding much of anything especially when your respond with personal mockery rather than add to a thread.
The sawed-off shotgun has proven itself to be an excellent form of home defense for many reasons. If you are unaware of that you could ask for clarification.

I wasn't arguing that a short barreled shotgun doesn't have it's perks. I mean another one is that you generally don't have to worry about penetrating walls and hitting someone in another room. But what I was saying is that to say there is no minimum length is misleading, because the way you stated it, you made it sound as if he could take a hacksaw to his shotgun and cut it as short as he wants as long as he doesn't leave the house. I just wanted to clarify to make sure he didn't wind up in prison for unknowingly breaking the law because of a miscommunication.Unless you get the tax stamp, I would agree with you. The post asked for the best firearms for home self-defense. I'm still standing by a short-barreled shotgun for multiple reasons. In close quarters it is much more maneuverable, it does not need a lot of aiming practice, and it is incredible easy to use. IMO.
I also added if he was hell bent on getting something new, I'd go with the KSG or UTS-15 for the extra ammo capacity over most other shotguns.

SBR 5.56. Easy to maneuver. Easy to mount a light and laser (or even an IR rig). MUCH more lethal than any common handgun. Significantly less penetration than 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and 12 ga. shotgun projectiles after first penetrating through interior walls. If you can't own an SBR, 14.7 with PA flash hider is still pretty maneuverable indoors.
