For practicality: the Taurus
For fun: The Mossberg
I figure if you're going to buy it you are going to educate/practice using it. If you're taking it to a range might as well go with the gun that will provide the most satisfaction.
I don't know much about guns, but you can load the 12 gauge with shells that have buckshot and shells that fire a single bullet, correct? I think that gives the gun versatility.
Also, my understanding is that shotguns are less lethal at range than a pistol, especially a magnum firing big ass .45 caliber rounds. Frankly, I'd rather be shot at with the shotgun....
Also, fuck this pacifism shit. If someone is poking around in your house uninvited, I say they deserve to get shot. And that's not sarcasm. This is America, not Canada. When people break in bad things happen. Getting a gun is on my to-do list, once I get some money and a more permanent place to call home.

Even if you did get 20 years...it would be a cool, calm 20 years...knowing your wife and kid/s are safe.
