I knew what you were saying, but sometimes when you use Gunnyspeak the Laymen don't understand you.

You need a deer rifle .270 30-06, whatever

You may need several shotguns, dependent upon how you roll If only one, make it a 12 gauge. I personally think you need a 20 gauge also, but that could be greed.

You may feel you need a pistol for home defense, etc. You need a father figure far more first. Chances are quite decent that in this day and age the ONLY gun you bought is a pistol, probably an auto. That means you need training and are probably foolish on this whole gun-thing.

I have a revolver, it's my only pistol, I gave the rest to my little bro. Model 29 smith, .44 mag Med. barrel. I need nothing else. That is what I went in harm's way with, that is what I would defend with, not that I honestly give it that much thought.



You need the above shit to be semi-decent happy as a gun-owner.

1. I thought a .22 was a varmint rifle. (Probably because when dad and I went small-game hunting when I was a lad, that's what we used. Everyone else used shotguns, but "if you can't hit a squirrel or rabbit with a .22, you shouldn't be hunting squirrels or rabbits." Dad didn't believe in "sport" hunting; you only hunted what you were willing to eat; and willingness to eat declines with the amount of shot one has to pick out of the dead animal.

2. If I ever go deer hunting again, it'll be with a 30-30.

3. I don't expect to ever buy a "defense" gun (for reasons I've said before), but if I did, it would be a 12-gauge. Does Remington still make the 870?

Facts keep changing. Fun.

This gun control fight has been brewing for a while. It's the wag the dog flavor for 2013.
