I would say it depends upon what you are defending against. If someone
breaks into my house and threatens me with a single shot fowling rifle, I
would still prefer to have my semi-automatic, thank you very much.

There you go. And the extra rounds tear the **** out of someone else in
the house or in the neighborhood. No thanks. I'll stick with a 12 gauge
with 0 buck.

And the pellets that don't hit the assailant tear the **** out of someone
else in the house or in the neighborhood.

By the way, what "extra rounds"? Are you saying that he's so innacurate
that he has to empty a magazine to put one round on target? And yet you're
so accurate with your shotgun that you hit the guy first time? And if you
think that a shotgun automatically hits everything downrange, you might
want to pattern it at the distances common in indoor combat. You'll get a
big surprise.
