Traveler said:Are women supposed to travel with a shotgun and carry it on their person as well? Doesn't make sense.

And I love double barrels.

Except when someone gets in a hurry, panics and "Short-Shucks" it.
Don't give a pump shotgun to someone who isn't used to shooting pumps. It takes years to get the full "gist" of them.

Mike, I shot an Ithaca Model 37 for years and flat loved it.
I also shot a Browning Auto 5 but what I liked about the Ithaca was the bottom eject. Since I'm left handed, shooting the Browning into a stiff breeze often resulted in blow back of unburned powder into my eyes as the shell was ejected. No such problem with the Ithaca.

Oh, I forgot to mention, the #37 and the #12 will both "Slam Fire".

"I am a member of the Delaware Bar, as is Vice President Biden," noted Shellenberger. "There are a number of statutory restrictions that could be violated by shooting a shotgun 'off the porch.'"
In addition to felony charges, Shellenberger cited the "Discharge of a firearm within 15 yards of a road (7 Del.C. § 719), a misdemeanor," and "Violation of the residential dwelling safety zone as set forth in 7 Del.C. § 723, also a misdemeanor."
"I just took a concealed carry class here in Florida in order to get my license to do so," writes Jack Thompson, a retired Florida attorney. "The instructors, who are very good, make it clear that just as a matter of common sense you don't fire warning shots of any kind because a) you are unloading your gun, which makes it useless should the invasion continue, b) you are putting others at risk by firing warning shots, c) maybe most importantly, you eliminate the element of surprise that you have if there is an intruder and you are waiting for him behind a closed door. Bang! Who is going to be surprised, you or he? and d) the castle doctrine, that you can kill anybody breaking into your home, does not extend to discharging weapons outside your home. Let's say you fire a warning shot, and the intruder sees you, Jill Biden, up on the balcony, and then that intruder does something provocative, like pointing his gun or shouting or whatever. You do not have a legal right to use deadly force, which you might be prompted to do, when you are outside of your home or castle."
