I don't have a true shotgun for defense. I leave that to my K frame S&Ws and Taurus Clones (same speedloaders and reloads for everything. However, scattered throughout the house are the shotguns that I bought but don't hunt with much anymore. So depending on where I am, I've got 2 H&R single shots (20 and 16 gauge), a JC Higgins in 12 gauge side by side, and an Ithaca M37 in 20 gauge. While they may not be the best, they satisfy the first commandment of gunfighting "Bring a gun, in fact bring several"

If a person doesn't have children in the house then having several firearms scattered around is a good idea.

Good point, failed to mention that my wife and I have no children, she has a carry permit and we make sure to do our "easter egg hunt" when we have friends with children coming over. Needless to say, my "play area" is off limits to children, since I know they will wind up finding the buck knife I lost last year.
