If you're living in a residential area, shotguns (with buckshot) are much safer for your neighbors than a pistol. There's much less chance of stray projectiles going through walls & doing any significant damage. The shot is so light it loses most of it's momentum by the time it passes through a wall where as a bullet would be far more dangerous. Not to say that a stray shot can't do damage, just that it's less likely to do so.
