### No, I don't own a shotgun, just a lowly Glock 27 with CC license
... today though I had a lot of fun participating in a combat shooting
training day with a former US competitive shooting champion. Great
day, ranging from 9 mm to 45 ACP, hundreds of rounds, many tricks, all
in my backyard.

I put the likelihood of moderate social disruption in the US (i.e.
riots and other chaotic escapades with more than 1000 ppl killed in
violent attacks) at 5% or less in the next decade, so the risk is
quite low .... for now I'll put off buying those shotguns.
