ATF form 4473.
I have none of them, and I’m not likely to own them. Nothing wrong with the choices, I just don’t see the 870 being that versatile, just any 12 ga will work, and be better for general use. The 19 and 10/22 are sensible. I’d rather pair them with an AKM.
Not all purchased required an ATF form, such as person to person. These are the ones to not include in your public online list for sure. :)
I kinda have a problem with someone coming out and prescribing the exact make and models of firearms for people, presumably novices, to go buy.
It’s a long road, start with some basics and let people choose for themselves.
Also racking the slide on a pump shotgun in the presence of an armed professional criminal is a very bad tactic. “SHOOT HERE”, Here’s your sign. If necessary, make a different sound with that shotgun and see how that armed criminal responds to it. What Mr. Adams advocates here is ignorant.
My son learned that the hard way when he shot a hole in his pocket. Luckily no one was hurt.
“Well, any gun in the hands of an inexperienced user could be a disaster waiting to happen. That’s why you get trained.”
Well, respond to my whole post.

The essential firearm is one you have practiced with and can use to defend yourself and yours. Mine are a Sig and a Mossberg. Not saying they are better than you choices, but those are what I know and have practiced with.
Well that and my tungsten/carbide katana. (Rockwell hardness way over 60.)
PS Glocks are excellent — just don’t feel right in my (oversized) hands. It’s a form factor issue.
The higher powered inexpensive airguns are pure poison on small game. Plenty of power tho still not the equal of the LR.
Yea, I have 3 beautiful ones(PCPs) with great glass on ‘em. Unfortunately, I can’t shoot them anymore due to going legally blind in my right eye.
P.S. although, anything but ‘ inexpensive’.
AMEN!
Bttt.

“Pellet guns may be ok for sparrows but they suck for rabbits or squirrels.”
Huh? The pellet guns they have today in 22 cal or 25 cal will kill any small game, and it doesn’t have to be head shots.
They will shoot right through a big boar coon’s chest and out the other side. They have nearly twice the power the pellet guns of the 1960’s and 70’s.
I bought one last year for $89 and it is awesome. I have no problem killing game and I’m sure it would kill coyotes and bobcats. I have killed over 70 raccoons and opossums with it in the past 10 months.

Check this out and check the reviews. That is just one many available for under $100 that will kill all small game.
