A Mossberg 500 Mariner is what he should get.
You and I agree on that. But last night I got flamed by all the know-it-all, swinging d!!!s who believe if you “ain’t got a hand howitzer with a gazzillion rounds, you don’t know doodly and you ain’t ready for ‘the fight!’”
Little boyz in their tighty whiteez, living in their momma’s basement, reading all those GUNZ magazines.
Rambo heroes all. You know the type.
Us old guys know the story. Mossberg 500, best defensive weapon after a Winchester trench gun. The kind I carried over 40 years ago.
Yep - old reliable. Well-made, reliable, and inexpensive. Gets the job done if the job needs to be done.
