For instance, my parents own (well, mine now since my dad can't handle a long gun any longer) a Remington 870. That shotgun can be used for turkey, deer, waterfowl, recreational shooting, and home defense. All with either a barrel change or, even simpler, a choke change and different ammunition.
As you said, though, to each their own.
I would agree with you, providing the owner had no need of shooting an elk at a bit longer range, or something.
In a wilderness survival scenario, I'd likely go with the shotgun (with long and short barrels) and a bevy of different shells.
In the urban apocalyptic Alex Jones wet-dream scenario, I'd favor an AK (with AR coming in second).
In both scenarios I'd really want a pistol, as well. (probably an older Ruger semi-auto 9mm)
