Over and Under shotguns are the same thing, it means 1 barrel is on top of the other. You also get Single and Side-by-Side!!!

12 Bore Man!!!

In the folklore of the south and Midwest the term over and under shotgun refers to the way that the father of the bride is holding his shotgun at the wedding ceremony.

*

If the father of the bride is holding the shotgun barrel pointed upwards at a 45% angle then this is called an over shotgun (holding over ones head) which means the father of the bride is in position to draw down upon the groom should he try and run away,the holding of the shotgun in this manner indicates that the bride is pregnant,the father is completely in a rage and a wedding must take place that very day..

If the father of the bride is holding the shotgun barrel pointed downwards at a 45% angle then this is called an under shotgun (holding under ones head) which means that the father of the bride has confidence that the groom will not run away,the father is not in a rage but is still angry and so remains in a position to draw down upon the groom if need be.This indicates that the bride is not presently pregnant but was found to have been very naughty with her groom to be and a marriage must take place to save her honor...
