I'd rather a chainsaw for home protection here, if you use a gun, even if it's unloaded then your going to face prosecution.
But if it's 2am and someone is breaking into your house and they hear a shotgun rack, they think "oh I could die here, but start up a chainsaw and they think" christ, what kind of psycho lives her, I'm getting the F out of here.

An electric saw doesn't have quite the same fear factor, but you can just grab it and it's ready to rock.

This is a bit far from a 4 gun choice now :-)

If I had one gun then I'd go for something that's light, very weather resistant and would work on small game and large stuff, if I bought a gun just for that type of hunting then I'd get a drilling and a synthetic stock for it.

I'd probably choose a 9.3x74R barrel over a couple of 12ga or 20ga barrels.
That way you have the ability to hunt small game, two slugs for bear defence and a rifle that will kill any game at any range I'm comfortable shooting at.
Although it would be a bit heavy.
Although I would be just as happy from a pure hunting stand point if I could put a synthetic stock on my K95, unfortunately it's a Stutzen so nobody makes one for it.
But I would still be plenty happy with it, a 30/06 in the vitals will kill anything and its not too big if a boot in a light gun that you have to worry about recoil.
You will ALWAYS be better off with a gun that your comfortable with and accurate with then something bigger that you bought just for a few hunting situations.
I think that the 06 is so popular there for reasons like that, it's mild to shoot, can handle heavy or light pills, it's flat out to 500m (load dependant) and it's got the comfort of being a proven performer for obmver 100 years.
Many people that think they need a bigger gun, just need to be a better shot, size dies not make up for poor aim.
That's true no matter where or what you hunt.
