Tactical as a description makes complete sense to me. I have a Mossberg 500 outfitted for turkey hunting. A tactical version of the same shotgun would be outfitted with a pistol grip, picatinny rail, folding stock, tactical choke tube (for blowing out door hinges), cartridge shell holder and potentially a flash light. If you couldn't call that the "tactical" version, then how would you distinguish from your turkey gun.
Tactical as a designation makes sense because is designates the weapon for a specific use as does the term "assault rife" as opposed to "battle rifle" (i.e. M1 Garand) or a "hunting rife."
And when there is a bump in the night, I don't reach for my turkey gun. Yes, I could assault someone or defend myself against someone with a turkey gun and use the same ammo as a tactical shotgun, but you have less rounds, a longer barrel to negotiate and are not set up for night time shooting.
Besides, a "tactical" weapon is 10x more intimidating, which for the purposes of shaking down potential trespassers, is much more suitable for the task. In a confrontation, I'll take a "Assault Weapon", "tactical" shotgun" or "semi auto handgun" any day of the week over a bolt action hunting rifle, 36 inch duck shotgun with 3 rd capacity, or a single shot, centerfire handgun. To each is on, though.
