Is shooting left-handed with a right-handed shotgun a big deal?

I asked the question a while ago about the Mossberg 12ga. tactical persuader shotgun and the answers have pretty much got me very excited to purchase one. Now I’m just wondering in your personal opinion, how do you feel about shooting left-handed with a right-handed shotgun? While I have never tried this yet, I don’t believe that the shells will cause any distraction to me as they fly through my line of sight. The main concern is more along the lines of safety, what are the chances of receiving an injury to the face by a shell being ejected from the gun? I will of course be wearing eye protection at the range.. but in the event of a home invasion there isn’t much opportunity to throw on some safety glasses. The safety position on this particular gun is on the top so it operates the same for right and left-handed shooters.
