Shotguns are the absolute best answer for dontshoots when it comes to home defense. They are lowtier suboptimal choices for people who shoot regularly.

Everything taser mentioned about them and their fuddlore reputation being mostly lies was spot on.

However with excellent pointability and super easy foolproof manual of arms along with their low maintenence and shooting for center of mass being the right point of aim...

It's the easy reccomend for collecting dust and "just in casers".
 
If you've got enough guns scattered you don't need to carry, only problem is remembering where they are and that you have it. Stumbled across one in a drawer when looking for shit and was confused for a lil lol

Shotguns are fine for home defense, but I think the ease of use for non-shooters gets exaggerated a bit. Double-barrel shotguns are pretty idiot-proof, but you only have two shots before you need to reload, which would be difficult under pressure without practice. Pump-actions are a common recommendation, but I've seen multiple people manipulate the pump incorrectly and cause a malfunction, or not know that there's a random button on the gun that you might need to unlock the pump. They also aren't the easiest to reload under pressure.

The AR-15 isn't much more complicated in general, and the reduced need to reload combined with a reliable semi-automatic action mean that a user might need to do less manipulation under stress than they would with a shotgun.
