Thank you Sis.
@Angela22 for starting this thread. I've been giving gun ownership a lot of thought for a few years, read up on it, but never followed through because, like you, I don't particularly care for guns.
But, as I get older, I've been thinking more about the need to have a weapon that could stop a perp/intruder instantly because I'm not feeling as safe as I want to. Like you said, Bro.
@Symbol of America, I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.
I've shot a 12 gauge shot gun before but it's been many years and it was out in the woods and only one time. So I need to learn a lot...how to respect the weapon, and Bro.
@ogoun, you made a good point about a shot gun vs. a pistol. When I think about it, I think that was causing my hesitation. I think a shot gun would be a better choice for me. Are there gun ranges where you can practice with them too? I need to learn the force of the kick when you shoot it.
