Over the last couple weeks the wife and I have been talking about buying a home defense shotgun. I/we have been doing some internet research and reading the forums on Ingo. We decided on a Mossberg 590, but would also consider the 500. We really want one with the collapsable stock so my wife and son can shoot it too.
Yesterday we had cash in hand and went shopping in the Jeff/Clarksville/New Albany area and came up blank. Seemed we got the same story pretty much everywhere we went..."we had a couple last week, but sold out now." Several stores checked availability with their suppliers, who were also out of stock.
I know crazy things have been happening on the AR/AK front, but had no idea finding a 18.5" or 20" barrel HD shotgun would be so difficult. Is this normal, or just poor timing with all the gun control hysteria?
