1. The best weapon for home defense is that which you are comfortable wielding and can hit what you aim at, multiple times. I don't care if it's a shotgun, 9mm, or .22, only utilize that which you can hit the person with in a variety of situations.
2. For home defense shotguns, that which you can handle and hit what you want AND reload FAST is the best gun for you. I don't care if it is 20 gauge, 12 gauge, double barrel, or whatever.
3. As someone said, practice, practice, practice and take safety courses and shooting lessons. If you choose to wield such a decisive tool, the mature thing to do is know how to use it safely and highly effectively.
4. Clean your guns. Regularly.
