That's good, but handguns are for when you don't know you're going to need a gun. If you do know, long guns are the way to go. Ask any Korean shopkeeper.

I have my long guns as well as shot guns. My ruger, however, was my rubicon moment of having a loaded weapon accessable at all times, ready to do what needed to be done.

I have my long guns as well as shot guns.

And I have my pistols. Two .45s and a tiny 9mm. (In this case I mean the gun, not the round) Plus two .22LR pistols as well. Oh and a .38/.357 and .45 (long) Colt on loan from a friend. Either the smaller .45 or the 9mm are with me most of the time.
