I appreciate that some people think themselves highly trained marksmen who will hit every target they aim for in a stressful situation.  Unfortunately, reality tends to be somewhat different.

I had an M-4 Carbine the whole time I was in the Army and I am good with an AR-15, but I still would prefer a shotgun in a defensive posture in close quarters.  I always thought of an AR-15 as an offensive weapon for squad operations.  I think it'd be great for rapidly acquiring targets in the 25-100 yard range or when working with a team where precision is needed.

However, if it is just me in the dark and multiple people could be coming from anywhere, I would feel better with a shotgun.
