A shot gun does have its moments, but I'm looking for a gun that I could carry when I felt like it. I'm not a hyper "shoot at ever stray noise" type. If I pick up a loaded weapon, I make very sure I know what I want to point it at first. Maybe I should add that I often go off alone on 4 wheeling adventures in the Rockies, so I might need one for a big cat (unlikely since they seldom go after humans and if they do, you won't know until too late), or a grizz if I go up north. A shot gun would certainly take care of a grizz, but its a pain to lug around.
