Portland police mistakenly fire live rounds from a less-lethal shotgun, wounding a suspect | OregonLive.com
And this is ANOTHER reason why you inspect each round you are loading into the shotgun. In my opinion the idea of "dedicated" less-lethal shotguns is inherently flawed. If the gun will accept standard ammo, eventually someone will load it with standard ammo, no matter what color the stock is. I also wonder if sooner or later some EDP or tweaked out biker will retain a sufficient grasp of reality to realize that the guy or gal with the orange shotgun doesn't really mean business. It has to be costly also, inventorying essentially duplicate shotguns.
The only solution I can offer, other than keeping your head out of your butt, would be to maybe use such a radically different shotgun that the user would have to put on the mental brakes and double check what they are doing. For this I nominate my personal favorite, the side-by-side coach gun.
