It always amuses me when I hear about people coming here with such a crazy idea of self preservation. You are a student fir gods sakes not a gangster, really the only reason you should need a shotgun is if you plan on part timing security work.
Get a steel gate on your door and windows, buy a taser for $80 from any gunshop here (no license needed) a can of pepper spray and move to a reasonably decent neighbourhood. Are you gunna be studying drama?

Sorry, couldn't help that
