How do you defend yourself against the 1000’s that will be hungry with a single gun? [/quote]
Forget that. What about all the weapons of near infinite destructive power that would be loosed upon society? How the hell is a shotgun going to protect against an F-14 or a 50-megaton bomb with multiple exploding warheads?
Partypup, if society breaks down, you better be looking to join a gang. Preferably one with a lot of illegally obtained weapons.
Hell, a shotgun won’t even protect against your basic pickup-bed-mounted .50 caliber machine gun:

Breeze, the guns are for interim situations – to get you OUT of danger and INTo a place of safety. I by no means expect to hole up in my house for years on end with my arsenal.
And regarding the pic you posted: if you are foolish enough to remain in your house or wherever you are when people like this start showing up, then you are most assuredly roadkill.
I plan to leave before the unrest begins; There’s no pride in lingering around to fight.
