Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

OK, if you have a 12 gauge and a fullsize pistol in 9mm, would you say that's enough to defend, or what would you get next?

Smaller handgun for conceal carry or a rifle for hunting and distance self-defense? I don't hunt, but I can if I have to in SHTF mode... and I'm getting a vibe. If a rifle, recommendations?

Or my favorite, just put the money into getting the old Valiant on the road?

Thanks!

Guns are like dirtbikes or classic cars or bunnies...you leave em alone and they somehow multiply

My first pistol was a ruger SR9
Still my first love as pistols go, but i find myself carrying the taurus compact or the S&W shield

The ruger feels heavy and bulky now, so unless im wearing gloves, im packing a smaller gun

What does your 12 gauge look like?
With the correct barrel length a 12 gauge will put more food on the table then any other caliber (unless your from the south, i hear the .22 has taken more deer there but not because of the versatilityof the projectile)

Which brings up to the .22
Great caliber, affordable to shoot, perfect starter for younger shooters and available in just about any configuration you want

Yeah, id opt for a .22 of some sort
