I would disagree with the shotgun assessment in a tight quarters type area like an apartment. Plus, at least for now, it's the only thing I have experience with.
I'm sticking with what I know how to use for now. But trust me an ar is in the future plans.
The Colt revolver didn't win the west. The shotgun won the west. You don't have to be pin-point accurate. And most shootouts were at close enough range for them to be effective.
I love AR's though, but for right now I at least have some experience with a shotgun, and a gun you have experience with is better than something brand new.
Slugs are also a thing to increase a little distance, but the scenario that worries me most is "peaceful protests" entering my living area.
If you're barricaded in your apartment, then a shotgun is fine. But as far as making a difference or joining up with others, you'll be largely useless in any group setting.
That said, I can't think highly enough of those who go from nothing at all to buying a pistol or shotgun. At least you won't be meat for the grinder.
But ideally, a patriot like yourself should prepare themselves for the day when they might need to (as awful as it sounds) be incorporated into an ad hoc militia if necessary for communal defense. Pistols and shotguns are useless in such a setting.
You can find an inexpensive AR for less than half the cost of a new smartphone.

I'm aware. I unfortunately live in Commiefornia, things are difficult here. I may also have some legal issues preventing me from owning a gun right now, I'm not 100% sure, but I really do need to go speak with a lawyer soon before the shortage takes literally ALL ammo.
But hey, I do appreciate the positive words, thank you.
I understand. But just keep in mind that whatever obstacles you are up against now, will only get worse as time goes on. It's already harder to buy an AR in California in 2020, than it was in 2015.
Still. It's absolutely the case that government has spent an inordinate amount of effort on making such a basic right a bureaucratic nightmare to overcome, and I fully empathize.

Exactly. We have to be ready for those so called peaceful protests
Especially if you have the misfortune of living in a democratic state.

you got that right. we also have the longest waiting times for a gun, the highest taxes, etc. etc. etc.
