I am in the lock your long guns up and use other methods of home defense corner.
However, for anyone reading and wanting a shotgun for home defense, I strongly encourage you buy this load:

It has a lower propensity to ricochet or penetrate walls than other pellet materials.

Honestly, if I had an active threat going on like Mr.Clean or others have described, I would probably keep my shotgun in my bedroom until it was resolved. But without an active threat, it's just not worth the associated risks.

Jesus, don’t buy a gun for home defense. Good locks, lock them. Get one or two loud dogs.
The amount of fear out there is ridiculous.

My boss bought a Stoeger. I give him endless shit about being able to afford a gentleman's gun, but not owning one. I like Franchi, for the money. Twice the price of a Stoeger at this point, but definitely worth the money.

Not a gentleman's gun, but it's a good import, and the Philippine Nacional standard issue riot gun:
Great home defense shotgun for <$250. Built way heavier than a Maverick, which you can't find these days anyway.
Fighting ["Defensive"] shotguns guns are made to fill the short-range air full of buckshot, then use as a club if you can't get reloaded fast enough.
Guadalcanal, 1943, your M1917 Browning heavy takes a frag and jams during a banzai charge...If it can handle that, it can handle Tony Montana's home defense problems.

"Jesus, don’t buy a gun for home defense. Good locks, lock them. Get one or two loud dogs.

My garage cabinets are diebold bank teller cabinets, I got them without the keys. I was able to watch youtube and with a $20 pick open 15 of them in 20 minutes. A New York rated lock might slow somebody down.
I'm guessing somebody could kick in your door in 10 seconds or less. The house I own, had 3 door jams kicked in when I moved in.
I put the biggest barrel bolt locks I could get from lowe's on all outside garage doors. 2 per and lagged them with 6" lags, I pad lock them and put the barrel on 2 studs on the jam. But I still have windows...
A pork chop and some anti freeze and 2 rabid dogs aren't doing anything.
There isn't much good shot placement won't stop.
When I was a kid 3 men broke into my parents home while I was there with a friend and my dog. We charged them with the dog and a fly swatter. I'm not charging 3 guys with a fly swatter again.

CZ Drake looks good for the money. Maybe I can find one used.
Anything about going 20ga, btw? I figure there's a lot less cheap ammo, but I'm guessing there's also a lot less recoil and that would be fun for clay pigeons and maybe taking those of smaller stature shooting.

for HD you run into some issues finding the bigger loads (BB/Buckshot) in 20, I think. its just overall less. but, for clays, most upland birds, etc, 20ga all day.

12 ga target loads shoot pretty soft, so personally I don't see much benefit comparing the two.
Also take in account, a lot of 20 ga rigs come in smaller and lighter construction so any lighter loads will be offset by the lighter guns. Light guns are great in the hills, but not necessary if you're looking to blast clays.
Most important, fit of a gun will determine a lot of the felt recoil.

You must live in a pretty shitty area, or it’s a good story to justify your Rambo fantasies.
A house is less likely to be burglarized if it has decent locks and a barking dog. People don’t want to mess with the noise of breaking in or a barking and possibly aggressive dog.

Both were 7 figure homes, the first on a nice golf course.

I can open a "decent lock" with a wood door jam using my foot.
With tools, I can open a "residential security container"/safe in 10 minutes.
Having a dog helps but they aren't superman.
When I called to report the 3 guys that broke into my house, the cops couldn't find my house. I had to drive to the fire station down the street and have them follow me home. 45 minutes after I called.
Maybe your aggressive dog will hold bad guys off for 45 minutes while I drive down the street to help the cops find me.
My buddy lived in a gated community "Daniels gate" and chased 2 guys out of his car on a Wednesday afternoon.
