Great advise
I have decided to go with a Mossberg 500 Persuader "Stand-Off" in 20 ga., 18.5" barrel. After some use with this gun it should be an easier step-up to the 12 ga. From all I hear, there isn't a lot of difference between the 12 or 20 when used for home defense, which will be my sole purpose. I am sure the 12 ga delivers more damage over all but the 20 will get it done well enough to halt an attack.
Thanks for great advise to the shotgun newbie.
