It's why they're in common use and one of the best things for home defense. Basically anyone can handle one

Edit: ITT... people who think a shotgun with birdshot isn't going through walls and is easier to use than a AR. In close distances, birdshot is a slug and will %100 go through walls.

Stop being stupid... unless you're shooting 22lr, it's going through multiple walls.

I wouldn't use an AR for home defense because I'm not interested in shooting through 4 walls and killing my neighbors kid by accident.

I believe bird shot is enough of a deterrent for home defense and requires significantly less precision in a tense situation.
