The poll is based on interviews last month with 901 registered Virginia voters.

Our VA founding fathers are spinning in their graves.
Yep, 901 people speak for or represent an ENTIRE FRAKIN’ STATE!!!?
The vast majority of the state is deemed/considered rural. ...be assured that this idiotic poll only polled 901 urban assholes......
If this poll was right, all but a few of Virginia’s counties would not have revolted over the coming gun confiscation laws.
Time for the Virginia counties opposed to the state’s plan for gun confiscation to begin the legal, constitutional process to separate from Virginia and join West Virginia.
That’s 25 boxes of 5.56, 16 mags...
The wife and I are going to exercise our 2nd amendment rights before Richmond takes it away. Never owned a handgun before, and she didn’t want me to keep my shotgun in the house. Now she’s all in.
Thinking of going to Clark Bros. Any other suggestions?
Likely going w/ Ruger 9mm, just want convenience, enough firepower to defend, and easy access, especially when we’re camping.
“suggestions”
I never liked shotguns. I’m too light so can’t stand the kick. However, an in-law has a mossburg 20 gauge for which he only used bird shot. No kick at all on that.
I did buy a 12 gauge once, never fired. Only got it because it was just $150 including shipping. Some no name thing from Turkey. I figure the sound of cocking it is enough of a deterrent so won’t have to embarrass myself with an intruder by bowling myself over from actually firing it.
“suggestions”
Mis-read your post. I don’t have any recommendations of stores. The shotgun I got online and picked up at a dealer in Prince William. Forget the name.
Per pistols, it depends who uses it. I don’t like the plastic stuff because the lightness of the gun makes it recoil more. If you want to cut down on recoil and don’t have a prob w/the weight, a 1911 is great. Thin magazine good for grip with smaller hands too. Obviously, fewer rounds though. So, I’d say a 45 is actually a good starter piece for the above reasons.
I don’t like pistol calibers below the 9 because they seem to jam more. Maybe my inexperience there. You’d have to be sure to clean them after every range trip. Maybe even mid-way through your range trip.
Per concealed/compact, I have a relative that has a SW 40 compact that he likes a lot.
Thanks for the advice!
