I'd like to pickup a decent home defense shotty, leaning towards a Mossberg 500 (mostly because I don't know any different) as opposed to the hunting Remington...

I've never attended a gun show - is it worth it? Think I'd be able to find a deal on a Moss (~$200, I'm ok with used)?

The local gun shops I've been too seem so sketchy when you seem interested in something. Plus, I don't think they have very good deals from the limited amount of research I've done.
