Shotguns now days are mistakenly shoved into the revolver pile for HD. Shotguns have protected home and hearth for over 300 years now and well. OO buck puts 9 pellets in the air approximately the size of a 9mm bullet x9, shuck it fast enough and you have a full auto subgun power. 8 shots = 72 projectiles. Also a little more forgiving on aiming, but not by much at close range. Modern pumps are as dependable as the sun coming up tomm. The only shotgun more reliable is the (tactical) single/doubleYmmv.Normally my home defense weapons are good ole Remington 870 shotguns. A Marine Magnum 12 gauge for me with 00 buckshot and a youth model 20 gauge with a +4 magazine tube extension and 2 3/4” #3 buckshot for the wife. Great for those “hallway clearings” if the need arises. They have both worked well on pigs out to about 35 yards so far so figure they would suffice for the two legged pigs as well. For the little further out there targets, I built the wife an AR in .300 BLK that she loves and can shoot like you wouldn’t believe. I taught her first with a bolt gun and now she shoots everything with that kind of precision. I just stick to the 5.56 in that case or an AR that I built last year in 350 Legend. I have a few AK’s as well so that area is covered pretty well. Now, for the even further out there targets, the deer rifles will be put into play in .308. I never got into the semi big bore rifles because I never had the need. 40 plus years of hunting and I have never needed a follow up shot on a deer or hog so the bolt guns always filled my needs very well.

If we are in a Harris all your guns are banned minus shotguns and possibly SKS and M1 Garands scenario we are in far worst trouble then you think. Screw their gun laws if they say they are banned. I’m not gonna be worrying about what might be possibly legal and I damn sure ain’t gonna give them to them without giving them all the bullets first.For OP scenario described, likely the traditional pump shot gun would not be banned and it so happens I like the shotgun for reactive defense. It is possible that the SKS, M1 Garand, along with revolvers will also be legally good to go under Harris.
There are always choices. And one would be to hang to what you have and if the authorities find out about it, go down with a warm gun, expended shell casings at your feet and hopefully with dead foes at your feet. Odin would welcome you.If we are in a Harris all your guns are banned minus shotguns and possibly SKS and M1 Garands scenario we are in far worst trouble then you think.

For OP scenario; all bets are off the table and I guess I’m coming out of retirement and once again fulfilling my oath, against all enemies foreign or domestic!
I'm sure the current proprietor, whoever it is that's running the place whenever I get there, wouldn't mind having me along for their added home security. Having a team is home defense in spades. That's also called "winning" and "not dying in a pile of brass".Concrete walls, steel security doors, multiple sally ports, limited points of entry, full wrap around surveillance CCTV, cleared and lighted and flat fields of fire all the way around, fully stocked and ready to rock. Just saying.... WW3 screw the house, I'm going to Walltown
