We’ve gone back and forth with lethal shotguns. All our 870s in patrol were dedicated to LL when we started getting rifles. Patrol had a lethal shotgun program with Mossberg 930s. If you had a Mossberg you weren’t allowed to have a beanbag. Then the Mossberg went away.
SWAT and a couple other specialty units carried lethal shotguns. SWAT had Benellis M2s. Then the SWAT leaders gave everyone ARs and lethal shotguns weren’t allowed. Then the range took all lethal shotguns away.
I just got a brand new 870 with 14” barrel with rifle sights that I’d love to load up with 00 buck and use for yard searches. But it’s a dedicated LL shotgun.
