I have to move to wherever you guys are! I have never seen an 870 in a pawnshop, and never have seen any pump 12 gauge at a pawnshop for under $250!texasmusic wrote:I'm going to second the pawn shop recommendation. Some will take back guns that don't work. Some have no idea what a working gun looks like, so take someone who is knowledgeable. I've seen a nice 870 (less than 1 year old) go for less than 200 OTD (I was the "knowledgeable" guy). I would with him, inspect the gun, and get them to come off the sticker some if they are willing.

You know why the Navy sends aircraft carriers to countries with problems? Just the sight and knowledge that it is there goes a long ways.
Good luck to your friend.
I would be real careful if you choose to do this.
Agreed, it could work....just be careful! Only the OP knows just how crazy his neighbor is.

Re: Inexpensive Home Defense Shotgun
Google reviews on the H&R Pardner Protector. Cabella's has them for $169.99 until 12/14. I purchased one on Saturday and the fit and finish is very close to my 870.
