If you'd like to be on or off this Upper Midwest/outdoors/rural list please FR mail me. And ping me is you see articles of interest.

At an absolute minimum, I would suggest four guns for the backwoods home. These would be a .22, a shotgun, a defensive-type handgun, and a high-powered rifle.

Four, as in 4?

Only one of each?

My wife will never see this thread.

If I wanted to buy a handgun for home security, say, a Glock, what model should I consider? Thanks.

I say...if you know how many guns you have....

You don't have enough.

If your wife ever starts giving you a hard time about buying firearms, bring up her washing machine, the one she washes clothes in, the dish washer, the bathroom sink, the kitchen sink, the washtub and the buckets she uses to wash her car. If she doesn’t get the idea then bring up wash cloths, sponges, steel wool, on and on and on. Don’t worry, you are holding the winning cards. Pillows, shoes, coats, on and on and on.

Well, in all fairness, the gentleman did say “At an absolute minimum,” to qualify his statement.

Well, here are rules - you have to carry your guns and the ammo for them, along with your sleeping bag, tent, water, food, stove, canteen cup, first aid kit, knife and compass twenty miles into the woods...

That has to be “per Person.”

That’s my story, anyway. ;)
