My wife, who has never had much interest in firearms, asked me if we should buy some more. There are three weapons I'd like to have, but have never had any need for. A 30.30 saddle gun, a 4" .357 revolver and a pump 12 gauge. Except for the 12 gauge, I have other weapons that fulfill the same functions. It surprised me, though, that she would mention it.

I don't hunt, so the only reason I have them is for either self defense or target practice.

Well, I’ve given my husband permission to purchase whatever firearms he wants and together we made a list of our needs. Today he’s taking the state CCW class, with my blessing. I think he is grateful to God every day that Obama was elected and he now gets to live out his gun fantasies. LOL

Aside from a good .22 rifle (and perhaps a .22 pistol), you’ve outlined a pretty good basic battery there.

My son-in-law when I first met him had to approach me while I was cleaning my guns. He looked a little apprehensive and he asked me what I did with the guns - do I go hunting? I told him, "I didn't buy these guns to kill no animals with four legs."
