Look, we've explained why we would use a red dot. What else do you need? Just because something doesn't seem right for you, doesn't mean it's not good for someone else.

Oh, my gun will be of no use in a home invasion, seeing as how I store it in a gun safe in the security office at the university I work for. But that is fine with me since I don't live in a shitty neighbourhood nor dwell in a world of paranoia.
I think your biggest problem here is that you are thinking in terms of scatter shot, whereas I am thinking in terms of slug placement. One needs much better aim with the latter than the former. Even 00 shot would only get the bears attention--some folks do use buckshot as their first round for antibear loadouts in order to bring it to a halt or slow it down for better placement of the slugs that follow. I decided that I want full stopping power from load one, and so walk the alpine and tundra with nothing but 3" slugs.

Just giving my side of it is all. It's called a discussion. You give your opinion, I give mine. If you can't handle that I'll drop it. Even though I already said I can understand preference for the dot. I'm explaining why
I think it's unnecessary.

Ok, we've got your side. Actually, we got your side 3 or 4 posts ago. The fact that you contiuned to rattle on, would give one an opinion that you are emphatically arguing your point. Not simply expressing your opinion. I don't think your opinion is wrong. However, your original question was, "Why in the hell would you need a laser sight on a fucking shotgun?". I think we explained that.
