| O.K. I'm still undecided and I am going to make sure that I can handle a few weapons before I buy anything. I have been thinking that maybe a shotgun would be the way to go. Mostly because I'm already a bow hunter and I could hunt after archery season is over.
To answer a few questions... I do have a one and a half year old daughter and I know the importance of teaching her about gun safety. I have an overprotective german shepard mix who barks at everyone who walks past the house and especially anyone who knocks on the door. I'm not much of an electrician so I haven't installed any kind of sensor lights, however I do have an alarm on our side garage door. I don't want people to think that I'm buying a gun so that I can shoot people who break into my home as I do take other steps to insure the safety of my family. I want a gun as a last resort and the added peace of mind.
I think I'm still going to look at pistols though, if not now then definatly in the future. My brother-in-law regurlary goes to the gun range, I think maybe next time I'll tag along and try his gun (a .45 Ruger I think).
Thanks again everone. |
