One more thing about a long gun as opposed to a revolver or pistol. If a fist fights starts you cannot just put a long gun down and defend yourself in that manner. Your stuck holding onto it. I have been in many situations where I could not assist in cuffing someone because you can't just holster a shotgun or stuff it into a belt to secure it. And you can't put it down so someone else can pick it up. Stopped carrying one a log time ago. I have the availabilty of one and a rifle, but it use is dictated by the circumstance.
