As part of my "Best in Class" Survival Gear series, I advocate that if you have just one gun fore survival it should be a shotgun. I show and tell a more traditional pump shotgun, a folding stock defense shotgun, and a magazine fed, semi-auto shotgun design for combat. I also show a folding 9 mm, sub-rifle. These are practical, versatile and affordable alternatives for the non-shooter who needs an effective defense weapon.
