Strange as it may seem, in some weird way I must half heartedly agree, b/c I backup up my shotguns with a pair of 9mms.
Spread/hidden throughout the house, it really depends on which room I'm in as to what weapon I'd grab.
Regardless, I think both have their place. My preference toward unarmored targets would be the shotgun, followed by a high capacity pistol.
I see my current collection as geared toward the following:
22lr: practice, last ditch tool
pistol: personal defense outside of the home if ever necessary, secondary defense inside of home
shotgun: 1st choice against home invaders, burglars, peeping toms, also handy for shtf natural disasters and small riots. They cover my yard nicely, and the line of site from inside my home toward my neighbor's homes aligns nicely in my favor.
rifle: if the world ever ends and the zombies are coming down the street, or perhaps some commies will make some very poor decisions, though hopefully not. That is when the rifle is handy to have in my mind. It has superior range, accuracy, reloadability, firepower and stopping power to other firearms such as shotguns and handguns.
Remember, for every tool there's a reason, and for every reason there is a tool.
