I've had a Winchester 97 16guage since I was fourteen, and recently acquired one in 12guage from the local daily classifieds.

If you're looking for a defensive weapon, there's nothing quite like the sound of a 97 chambering a round to get the bad guy's attention.

With the local economy imploding, lots of folks are selling their toys so they can hang on to their homes and buy food.

I don't know where you live, but where I live the economy is booming. May have something to do with the low cost of living (no state income tax) and business friendly government (also a right to work state).

Thanks for the advice though, I'll keep my eyes open.
