do anyone know what are the requirements for getting a 12 gage pistol grip shot gun?

I was thinking about getting a firearm for home protection because the neighborhood I live in is really bad and sometimes I be scared for my life. Is getting a pistol grip 12 gage shot different from getting a regular gun as far as the requirements like a gun permit.

In IL if you get a pistol grip shotgun with no stock it is classified a handgun and then has the waiting period of a handgun. Other states may be different. I do however suggest getting a pistol as well.

The shotgun's role is holding down the fort such as a safe room where only one door has to be guarded.

The handgun's role is searching the home, gathering family, etc.

A handgun requires one hand to operate making it usable while on the phone with police, finding family, holding a flashlight, opening doors, etc. A shotgun would have to be lowered to make one hand usable.

Also the handgun does not need to be lowered or raised to look around corners (you would not want to have the barrel of a shotgun peak around the corner giving away or position and then stick your head out). A handgun also gives less to the intruder to grab onto if they get close enough to grapple with you and the weapon. A shotgun will give him or her more to hold onto.

I hope this helps. The Shotgun v. Handgun came from Guns and Ammo: Book of Personal Defense; The Role of the Handgun. I forgot the authors name and the page number. I lent the article out to a friend.
