Oh. I thought the topic was "work horse gun for cruising". Which
implies we were talking about guns that are for utility purposes. I
have a shotgun for bears, I consider it to have a purpose, to fill a
need. I have a little .22 for birding, so it serves a purpose also.

A good shotgun is pretty much a necessity in the bush. Not because of
human predators, but because sometimes a bear just doesn't understand
shoo....because a nice wolf ruff will do wonders for a good parka....
because a Moose helps you eat thru the winter without buying the $4.99
a pound green hamburger!

So I was merely wondering why you would need a 'workhorse' gun, not
trying to offend your pistol packin' selves!

And so far I've haven't been shown a need for gun, unless it's a flare
gun or spear gun or a glue gun!

and, ah... this thread... ahem.... ah... no offense... but calling the
people in this thread 'normal' is a little stretch of the imagination,
wouldn't you say? After all, you, BC, Overproof and Capt. Kneel are
all involved in the conversation!
