well, here in the U.S., we consider it a God given right to own and carry guns (and by "U.S. i mean most of states, except for commiefornia and illinois, and perhaps a few others)
but there is a difference between shotguns (which the OP asked about) and handguns, which we probably carry on a daily basis
when i bought my first shotgun, there was a back ground check that took about 5 days to return, before i was allowed to purchase it
same with my first pistol
then i got my Concealed Pistol License, and now i can walk into any place that sells guns and walk out with a gun as soon as my money is in their hands
as a daily carry, i rotate between a ruger SR9, when im wearing gloves, or dont care about concealment, or a Taurus PT9 if i need to be less obvious

Ruger SR9 is a nice piece. I carried an SR9C before I bought my Glock. I put 7,500 rounds through it with no issues at all.

The 22lr is like butter. Love it. Try a 357mag henry for them yotes. Impressive round out of a long barrel. Probably a 700fps increase and still reasonable to shoot.
I do love my sks. Cant go wrong for 225$ and about 1500rds for 180$. Although lately its been pricier.
The 22...had to show it.
Henry is an impressive company. Awesome customer service. Wood and steel from usa. Just beautiful walnut on my big boy 357.

That sure looks familiar...and the same back story too. I'm going to have to check after work and see if my old bolt action 22LR is the same model.
Both the Winchester and my dad's Marlin 336 .32 special passed on to me when he passed away unexpectedly years ago at the age of 44. He bought the Marlin for deer hunting about a year before but never got to get out with it.
It's a sweet-shooting gun and as accurate as it can be. It's probably had less than a full box of ammo through it in all the years it's been in the family.

If you look close in the picture you'll see my 336 behind the AR, its a XLR model stainless and is by far my favorite gun, just plain fun to shoot. I was moving my safe the day this picture was taken.
For a pistol I always carry a Kimber 45 and my shot gun of choice is a Sega 12, and as for a long gun is a tough choice.
I guess I'll have to keep collecting them till I find the one I like the best.

Beautiful SKS! I really like the SKS rifle, currently own 10 of them. 1 Yugo, 1 Tula Russian, and 8 Chinese. I love how they look, and I love to shoot them.

I keep saying to myself i should buy a chinese one now.
What im really scared of is our ******* national police farce the rcmp making them restricted for range use only one day.
Luckily, there is millions of them here. And they know theyd have a fight getting owners to fess up to having them.
Same down here in the US.
My personal everyday carry though, is a North American Arms .22 Magnum 5 shot revolver. I am rarely without it.
Simalar to a JDSU

I know I'm right....
JDSU was bought out by Viavi, I believe. The Viavi is a touchscreen! you put TDR in in "Smart-check" mode and itll tell you "you have a ring ground at 568 feet, behind the Jones house on the far side of the pole..." Well, not that specific but footage is scary close. It'll tell you bridge tap location and length of bridge as well as splices and even cable gauge changes. But it cant kill anything.....Only gun I own is a Black-Ops 10 pump 1200 FPS .177 BB/Pellet gun with a 4X scope. Me and my 13 yr old son shoot cans and paper targets with it in the back yard. My neighbor has rats in his fruit trees and says he'll give me a buck for any I kill.

I had a Marlin 336 in 30-30, perfect pickup rifle. I even worked up a hot rod pointy bullet load for it at the reloading bench. I already had my .06 and a deadly accurate 22-250 but I needed a shotgun. Traded the Marlin for a brand new Mossberg 500 Junior Model in 20ga. Short tube, light, easy swing. Took it to the skeet range, my old boss was there, quite a skeet shooter he was. "What have you got there?" as I removed it from the case. "You can't hit anything with that little 20ga". I had never shot skeet in my entire life and it was the first pull of the trigger on that gun. 19 out of 25 in the first round. "Give me that" he says. He dusted 20 in the next round "This ain't half bad. And it's so light and easy. I could get used to this." "Get your own" I say. Recently I found a Savage Model 340 30-30 bolt gun and a little 4x Bushnell it loves those hot rod reloads from the Marlin. I have $150 invested in it, shoots like crazy.
