If I lived in a place where I could learn how to hunt and field dress things I shoot, I'd totally get one.
supposedly i "got" two. everytime i talk to the old man, he asks me when i am going to come and get them. when shooting uva alums becomes legal, dad, that's when.
If you can only have one I recommend a 12g 11-87 for upland bird/waterfowl, home defense, sporting clays and something else.
