Let Freedom Ring,
I’m down to one adult child at home, with my wife and I. Both me and my dog are getting a bit long in the tooth. I never owned a firearm with small kids in the house because I didn’t feel I needed it, and I was afraid I’d slip and one of the kids would gain access.
So, now I’m starting to think about getting a gun. Couple of questions: What’s the best bang for the buck in a home protection firearm? (pun intended). And, what is the proper way to store said firearm for safety, yet accessibility in the event of a break in?
Took a friend (H.S. teacher) shooting yesterday. Her first time ever. Had a blast with a Ruger Mk II, was a little intimidated by the .357 mag, and wouldn’t touch the .45. All in all it was a great time.
Another one converted to the good side...
