What are shotguns used for?

The "racking" of a pump shotgun is the most unmistakable sound to my ears

Sent...

No kidding! I was watching a movie with my wife once and a 'bad guy' racked his shotgun. I started to laugh, and said, "That's going to do a lot of good, dope!" She looked and me, "Huh?" "It's empty, he didn't load a shell into the gun."

"When you rack in a shell into the chamber the barrel makes a hollow 'thunk' sound."

I got my shotgun out of the safe and racked it a couple of times (empty).

OK, now I put a shell in the magazine, and racked it again. (yes safety on, and pointed in a safe direction!)

Her eyes popped and she said "Oh yeah you can clearly hear it."

Quite a while later we were watching another movie and someone pumps their shotgun and she pipped up with, "Hey that gun's empty!"

I was so proud!

Then when they leave the gun show, they take everything off before getting into their Prius to go home; legally. :/

A shotgun is used for bird hunting or squirrel hunting.

In many places you can still ONLY hunt large game (deer, bear, etc) with a 12ga. That's what slugs are for.

Sons of guns is pretty stupid from a gunsmiths pov. They have some cool stuff but it is not a show to get information from. Of course we all like guns but they build wild application firearms usually not something u or I would own.

Sons of Guns falls into the same category as almost every other show on Discovery. I don't watch American Chopper for advice on fixing my bike...

Well as soon as you go inside there will be guns left and right lol they have All kind of guns from antiques to new ones, well at least the gun shows around my area. If yall want to learn about guns stalk.com is a great forum to learn from.
 
You would be in for a cool time. Definitely get there early, you will still be in a long line either way. Lots of other cool stuff besides guns. You will notice almost everyone will be walking tall with their chest puffed out, even the women, but their cool. Bring cash incase you see something interesting, and if your going to make any big purchases... Negotiate.

Depending on what state you're in, you can usually get a permit to purchase for a nominal fee (assuming you're not a felon), then go get your own gun, all legit-like. I just got one for $5 from the state of NC.
Of course, if you are a felon or are facing charges or maybe have mental issues that prevent your passing a rudimentary background check, an internet forum is probably not the beast place to ask somebody to break the law for you.
Shotguns are for close quarters or hitting stuff without aiming quite so precisely:)
