The perp won't care about the barrel length correct. A hunting barrel isn't generally 24 inches it's 26.......or longer. So while the perp won't care about that barrel length......the wielder of said shotgun will definitely care......your scenario trying to prove your point is operating from the fairy land principal that the perp will be standing still in the doorway letting you point and shoot......in reality maneuvering with a 26 inch barrel shotgun in doors is not easy.

I'd take a good pistol over a long barreled hunting shotgun in a home defense scenario.
